PSYCHOTRONIC ROLLER BOOGIE DISCO QUEEN SOCK IT TO ME
What the fuck is this? OK, first of all, the album title is too long.
I've never even heard of you, so relax with the triple-word score album
title. And there's a pretty hot tattooed chick on the cover but she looks too
much like a guy for me to get comfortable.
This sounds like Neil Diamond singing for a garage-punk band. I see the
CD is pretty barren in the information department, although I do note the
sign of an egomaniac on patrol. Every song has song-writing credits and that
usually indicates some power-struggle within the band. Look dudes, your songs
suck, don't take credit for them, at least, not publicly. Now I know exactly
who to blame for each part of each song.
They've kinda got the idea off the garage-punk-psychobilly thing but this
singer is just so awful and his voice is mixed way out above the music as if
he's some talent. He is fucking awful. Judging from the elaborate song
writing credits, I assume the singer is "Stevenson". If theres one thing I
can't stand its band-leader dudes who have no fucking clue. This guy is
probably a total asshole slave driver with nothing to show for it. He
probably bosses the band around and writes all the songs, does all the int
erviews, etc. meanwhile his claim to fame is probably fucking some slut who
thought he was Neil Diamond in a White Castles bathroom. I do see that once
and a while "Stevenson" allows "Wagner" to co-write songs with him but I'm
sure its reluctantly and under intense scrutiny. This is the type of guy who
kicks and screams when someone else offers insight.
So basically what I'm saying is, this CD blows, but I would love to see
them live and watch the dynamic between Neil Diamond and the rest of the
band. This group might actually not be half bad if it weren't for the king of
the wedding singers on lead vox.
