Adios Fatso: Ninety Seconds Against the Machines

Ninety seconds is a long song for Adios Fatso. The Boston punk three-piece works on a motto, life is short and so are their songs, and "Ai Is Taking Your Soul," released October 16, 2026, spends its brief runtime picking a fight with the machines. The refrain runs "AI is taking your soul. Skynet is gaining control," and the bridge reaches for backup, quoting Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on human dignity in the age of AI: artificial intelligence, the song insists, needs to be disarmed.

Listen

The band is Sir-Ken Celli on guitar and vocals, Kevin Guerrero on drums, and Christian Kmiecik on bass, and the polish under the jokes is real: this single was mixed and mastered by Bob St. John, whose credits include Extreme and Duran Duran. It is the first single from their upcoming second album, The Sequel, following the 2023 debut No Cap, whose eleven tracks all clock in between 41 seconds and a minute and a half. The project started as a lockdown songwriting challenge, and the name comes from a Simpsons gag, which tells you most of what you need to know about the sense of humor. The social commentary underneath it is dead serious, and the delivery is fast enough that you have to play it twice to catch all of it. Do that.

Start here: "Ai Is Taking Your Soul" for the current fight, "WTF" for the Blasting Room sheen, and No Cap start to finish for the full eleven-song sprint. It will take you about fifteen minutes.
