Really good 80’s punk from Hagerstown, Maryland. Does a great job of mixing 60’s twang, 70’s punk attitude and sometimes 80’s hardcore speed. Tough sounding. Comparable to Iggy fronting the Wipers. (((1)))) TOO MANY FCCS – SKIP IT! ((((2))) (FCCs “fucking” sung once) ((((3)))) Awesome, fast & twangy rockin’ (FCCs “bullshit” sung once) ((((4)))) TOO MANY FCCs – SKIP IT! (((5)) TOO MANY FCCs – SKIP IT! ((((6)))) Twangy, very midwestern sound and all the way rockin’. ((((7)))) Fast and pretty much hardcore ‘ala MDC. ((((8)))) Dirty sounding r n’ r fused punk rawk. (((((9))))) Surfy/spy movie twang with a paranoid and sarcastic (?) lyrical tone. (((((10))) More twangy, (FCC “shit” sung once) (((((11))))) Ace cover of the Stooges classic so obviously “stooge-y” you’d think it was an outtake from Ann Arbor in ’71. (((((12))))) Sharp guitar tone and plenty of attitude (FCC “fucking” and “fuck” each sung once) (((((13))))) TOO MANY FCCs – AVOID! ((((14)))) More Iggy worship. NOT FCC FRIENDLY play after 10pm! ((((15)))) (FCC “fuck”, sung once, “fucking” sung twice) Plays the riff of “Sweet Home Alabama” then goes total punk rock bad-assery. ((((16))) TOO MANY FCCs- AVOID! ((((17)))) Straight up punkish, Iggy-ifed hard rock. So much Iggy he even sings “looking for a real cool time” (((18)) Basic 80’s um…”rock” like (Paul Collins) Beat or the Plimsouls. Not bad but sorta “there” and “dated”. (((19))) Anti-Columbus rocker. Works better lyrically than musically as it’s a little too “Springsteen”-ish to really 'rock'. (((((20)))) Nicely fused big guitar work out with yet more Iggy/John Doe-ish vocals and some cool backing choruses. | ||
