The Flaming Sideburns
It’s Time to Testify… Brothers and Sisters! (Bad Afro)
by Jon Sarre
Okay, here’s the downside of all them assorted Hellacopters and Turbonegros, which granted, are better Scandinavian cultural exports than yer ABBAs or yer Cardigans, but not all these Nordic lunkheads kick ass. I’m glad they’ve got rock bands up in Finland like The Flaming Sideburns, but is it really necessary to flood this side of the North Sea with ’em? The boys mean what they say, “Zero! Zero one! Woohhhoa,” but I don’t understand a fuckin’ word. “Yeahhh! Yeahhh! Alright!!” They do the Wailers’ “Out of Our Tree,” too. Jesus, English is just too easy.
