Similar to the Hickoids in irreverence to gloss and reverence to rockin’ the house, and dissimilar in that the rootage is less country and more a groove ride.
For all their rock’n’roll swagger, this four-song EP only teasers a tune worth remembering, and still-unknowns The Bones has a CD full of memorable singalongs.
Hard punk/near-rockabilly/greaser rocker rock isn’t exactly where the paycheck’s at these days, so you can bet these poolhall hooligans are in it for the tunes.
Ugly, noisy, and brutal, even when strumming an acoustic, and heavy in that sludgy, painful way, like playing old Slayer riffs with a blanket over the amp.
“Civil Salvage” starts in with a replicated gypsy tinge, followed by the dark 16 Horsepower vaudeville country of “Death On The Sickbed” and “Culture of Prey.”
