Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2017-12-12
Slovenly Records’ 200th release: Only the Japanese can tear American garage punk to shreds. Guitar Wolf, The Routes, just a searing edge to it all, balls out, shredding distortion and unrepentant driving beats. Crazed. The Japanese were infamous for the “take no prisoners” philosophy. This rip roaring stuff leaves a trail of dismembered hipsters in its path.

Band name translates to “Crazy Slovenlies” ironically enough. From Kobe. See also early Bad Brains. All songs brief, play any. You’d have to fluent in Japanese to detect any FCCs.

1) (1:29) rip roaring punk garage 2) (1:44) more 3) (1:32) slight western tone, a la Vandals gallop 4) (1:35) surf/spy twang in guitar 5) (1:01) more balls out stuff 6) (2:56) slow dirgey 7) (1:44) starts off like a slow release bomb, then turns into a galloping punky 2/4 thing, crazed 8) (1:31) 9) (1:44) slight surf to this one
