Album Review

Reviewed 2004-04-30
Strange & broke down kids from the East Bay who make this oddball thing I’d call:
“goofapunkacowabilly”. It’s kind of hit & miss this this crew (sure sounds weird saying “crew” when not refering to a youth-core/SxE type of band). Still, the guitars are really solid throught just about the length of this ‘lil platter.

SIDE A
#1 Cow-punk & rockabilly with goofy vocals. Excellent guitar work especially the Hawai’ian slide part. Was this a real TV show?
#2 W.T.F.??? It’s all 70’s prog! Hell yeah! Oh wait a sec..they just junked all of that & went back to their twangy, reverb-soaked rockapunkabillygoofn’roll. I’m not too into the vocals but the guitars are really phenomeonal!
#3 Is this about Boogie Down Productions Scot La Rock? There’s no freakin’ lyric sheet & this dude’s vocals are several twisted. Anyway, so-so stuff here, just more rockabilly & some turnable noise & tweakage.

SIDE B
#1 Rambling, country mixed with 60’s rock/pop choruses not too unlike the Monkees. An odd mix but not a particularily interesting one.
#2 More twangy & rockabilly & driving Southwestern rock with this one. All about driving to Reno. Nice guitar & drum parts.
#3 Strange guitar tone which sounds like 60’s rock, reggae & rockabilly all at the same time. This sounds just too fucked up & drunk to work ( not to be confused with the “too fucked up & drunk” way that DOES work!)
