To paraphrase Joss Whedon: Into every generation a slayer is born: one band in all the world, a chosen one.
For us, that band is local punk rockers The Quitters, who have decided to embrace their destiny by releasing a music video for their song “Dragonslayer,” directed by Angelina Dorogi.
The song comes from the band’s ye olde 2014 album Contributing to Erosion, which is available now via Squidhat Records (the Giles to their Buffy).
You’ll also have the chance to pick up the album in person when The Quitters play the Double Down Saloon this Friday, Nov. 20, with Lambs to Lions, Sector 7-G and Child Endangerment (let’s call the Double Down their Sunnydale High School Library, or maybe The Br… no wait, it’s the Hellmouth).
In the meantime, we reached out to the merry band of dragon slayers to find out which flying reptile monsters top their mythological hitlist.
5 Dragons In Need Of Slaying by The Quitters
This list may be considered quite controversial, but so is the duty of dragonslaying.
5. Drogo from Game of Thrones –
We’re big fans of Queen Daenerys Targaryen; if Drogo be slayed, the Queen would be ours
4. Smaug from The Hobbit –
This gold hoarder was bad enough destroying cities, but ever since The Hobbit movies were released, he’s been an insufferable braggart. Smaug is on the chopping block
3. Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon –
Listen: dragons are dangerous beasts. The Vikings of yore knew that, and Hiccup really dropped the ball by befriending the enemy. We’ll finish the job and have the firebreather’s head
2. The dragon from the Guitar Hero episode of South Park –
It wouldn’t be much of a chase with The Quitters on this quest. Consider him slayed
1. Puff the Magic Dragon –
The song by Peter, Paul, & Mary is widely regarded as an innocuous tune about drug use. Well, The Quitters are updating to the 21st century and putting Puff to pasture; Summon the Dragonslayer!!
