Slightly Stoopid is a recent formed reggae blues band from Ocean beach San Diego, California. The band is high influenced by sublime because they were originally signed by sublime to their label producers skunk records. The members are Miles Doughty (Guitar, Bass, Vocals), Kyle McDonald (Guitar, Bass, Vocals), Ryan Moran (Drums), Oguer Ocon (Congas, Percussion, Harp, Vocals), DeLa (Saxophone) and C-Money(Trumpet, Keyboard). The song I chose to look at is “Bandelaro”.
In the song “Bandelaro” there are many poetic devices used. An example of a metaphor in the song is “He said now, girls and guns, guns and girls Come together like the diamond and pearl”. I also thing that “Lord, you got to kill off the one youth man” is symbolism for god and another race or kind which reverts back to the song title Bandelaro.
