The Blakhiv
Any Way She Wants It (Lucid)
by Scott Hefflon
Glorious messy rock’n’roll from Iceland, recorded live on Radio Iceland. Vital and sloppy and fun and chaotic and noisy, a mere five quick jerks and the job is done. Turbonegro guitar with a non-falsetto The Darkness singing, and a bit of clowning around between tracks. Lucid can find some good, wild rock, I just wish they promoted more (or at all) so people’d know it and stop bitching how rock is lame these days.
