Rick’s got a distinctive voice, somehow mixing Styx, Cheap Trick, and helium (the gas, not the band). And any rocker in their right mind’ll play with him.
Lookout Records is now a shadow of its former self, while I’m listening to Enslaved and getting closer and closer to giving up on “pop-punk” altogether.
Electric Bible plus a Five Fingers… track, two unreleased tracks from the Laced Candy sessions, and a souped-up cover of Elvis Costello’s “Lipstick Vogue.”
Splatter punk energy like a sprinkler run amok, heave chunks of rock-solid concrete like beefy-brutes, solo chaotically like Angus and the Nuge once did.
These bands don’t follow genre convention, they use the rock mulch as fuel and barrel ahead like a big cunt-hungry bulldozer fulla speed, Viagra, and booze.
Gaza Strippers, Custom Made Scare, Teen Idols, Los Infernos, Speedealer, Nobodys, Hai Karate, Hayride to Hell, and the Hellbillys show up on Start Your Engines.
