This series is for anyone who gets cranked up by Motörhead, Agent Orange, AC/DC, pre-Beatles Redd Kross, early Kiss, The Runaways/first couple Joan Jett recs.
The Beatings belong in the same club, even if some of their “tone” has a tang that puts ’em closer to the freak-slutpunk contingent, as does the Gun Club cover.
Adam West goes for a cleaned-out, amped-up riff roar that fueled both the clean-lined arena rockers. Think AC/DC ’78, UFO tunes, and some choice Nazareth.
