Personal And The Pizzas

Genres: Garage/Punk Rock

FCCs (!):
Track 5. Joanie: questionable lyrics in the chorus “…get on my knees and eat out you”, at 2:28 “Shut the fuck up”, 2:38 “shit”, there is a fade out ending at 2:20 you can use to avoid last two clear FCCs
Track 6. I Want You: 1:58-1:59 “we can fuck around”
Track 8. Rock and Roll 1:45-1:47 “my shit’s fucked up”
Track 9. Joey Quit the Pouch FCCs 1:28, 2:16 “fucking”
Track 10. Death Threat 5:30 “fuck”, the song ends before this FCC so you can cut/fade out before it happens.

Overview: Classic punk band channeling The Ramones and The Stooges. Three-chord progressions rule here. Rough garage sound with some shouted/strained vocals and a few tasty solos. Uncomplicated, aggressive, and often vulgar lyrics with a healthy splashing of FCCs. The last track sounds live and is a nice homage to “Needles and Pins” by the Ramones. A good way to end the album.

Influences/similar bands: Ramones, The Stooges (less so The Clash and The Jam)
