Trashcan drums and cheese sound effects and old movie samples interspersed with hardcore guitar noise side by side with acoustics bangin’ Dylan-like riffs.
My favorite record released this year was Silky by Andre Williams, backed by two ex-Gories. Forgive Thee, The Cheater Slicks’ double record is a close second.
RFTC are just havin’ a good time workin’ with a guy (Kevin Shirley) who produced Journey records and another guy (Jim Dickinson) who produced Cramps records.
The singer’s got a voice like Gracie Slick, and she sounds like she sincerely means every word she enunciates about her gray sweatshirt with the hole in it.
Columbus, Ohio trash-punkers turned Epitaph heroes New Bomb Turks continue to have their hearts and minds (and probably bleeding ulcers) in the right places.
A big hit of Stoogoid mayhem, a dash of Thunders classicism, a shot of Sonics bluster, a dash of RFTC cut’n’paste, and a few too many Lazy Cowgirls shows.
