Libertine/American Heartbreak
You Can’t Kill Rock N’ Roll (Coldfront)
by Jon Sarre
No, you can’t kill rock’n’roll, but no thanks to these chumps. Not like they’re doubtlessly sincere in their attempts to hitch a ride on The Dragons’ tail, which would be a better idea if The Dragons were popular, of course, but hearts in the right place don’t save ya, ‘specially when the above dumbasses are pretty much interchangeable, ‘cept Libertine plays slower than American Heartbreak, so mebbe they’re more sensitive, or wussy or somethin’ and sometimes they remind me of a John Hughes movie soundtrack. Then someone covers Cheap Trick. I forget and I’m not gonna bother finding out, you can if you want, but don’t say I didn’t warn ya.
