The Spills – Mondo Cane – Review

The Spills

Mondo Cane (Stiff Pole)
by Scott Hefflon

Roadburnin’ garage punk with its foot to the floorboards, a bottle of Jack in the crotch, a beer chaser in hand, and a big “Whoo-whoo!’ on the lips, The Spills are here to drink the bar dry, fuck anything vaguely female, and beat up anyone who has a problem with it. Logging in at just under 30 minutes, these 15 songs (including three from their debut, Gonna Go Blind) are all lovingly underproduced by ex-Devil Dog Steve Baise for that vintage “bass, what’s bass?” sound that’ll make yer ears bleed. Add The Spills to the ever-increasing list of bands that play pure balls-out rock’n’roll filled with venom and chaos instead of posing for Rolling Stone covers.
