Straight
outta the pool halls and municipal swimming pools of Raucous-chester, Noo
Yawk, the cleverly named Bloody Hollies serve up a whole mess o’
garage grit and blister here. Frontnut Wesley Doyle is truly a rock
n’ roll guerilla to be reckoned with, man. Not only does his guitar sound
like a swarm of killer bees with stingers fulla snake venom, but his vox are
pure ragged TROUBLE. He sounds like that dude down at the bar that
probably DID chop his girlfriend up, but everybody’s too afraid to
ask, ya know? I have no doubt that numba 2 and numba 3 (Mike Argento,
drums; Phil Freedenburg, bass) are not only aiders and abetters, but
prime movers in this psycho-freak-o ranuchorama as well- BHs are the
very definition of power-trio- but I also bet he beats them if they get
outta line. Anyway, the Bloody Hollies are nothin’ if not
to-the-point, so ya get what you came for with this one- frenzied,
bullet-spraying rock n’ roll, with a nod to 60’s Detroit supersonica and a
chip on their shoulder that suggests teenhoods fulla wall-bouncing punk
rock. I could sit around and give ya hints all day (psst…try #6 first!), or
you can just take my word for it and get a little Bloody action for
yrself. “Fire at Will” is one bad-ass mess o’ rock for a buncha dudes
in white shirts and ties, I tell ya that much.
Bonus points: They thank Detroit thunderballs The Lanternjack.
Nobody ever THANKS the Lanternjack for anything. Usually people sue
them, or punch them, stuff like that. Consorting with the bad guys is always
applauded around here. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ |
