Yeah
man, I realize the BC's copped their name from a Dead Milkmen
song, but I told ya before, I don't name 'em, I just report on the blood and
guts underneath. The Bitchin' Camaros are from Ottawa, which is just
further proof that the Canada is the new Sweden, when it comes
to rock n' roll. Bein' half Canuck myself, I ain't surprised. And
unlike the Swedes, who- god bless 'em - spend a good half of
their creative energy in picking out the right pair of mirrored shades and
the coolest black t-shirt to pose in- Canadian superrockers don't
really give a fuck about any of that. It's cold, man, they gotta wear
flannel and workboots, and they accept it. Instead, they concentrate solely
on melting the ice with supersonic flamethrowers of pure rock chaos, and the
BC's do it better n' almost any of 'em. It's a simple confection,
this sound, mixing up 70's power rock and 80's sleaze metal and 90's
born-again redneck swagger punk, but you put that ungainly mess of criminal
moves all in one place and you better bolt the fuckin' doors, Jack, cuz
mayhem is afoot. Dig the southin' rawk meets berserker motorpunk of "DNP"
for a prime example, or the chugging cock n' roll of "Bricks" or the
Sunset Strip-on-bathtub-testosterone flash metal-grunge of "Flamazine"
- effortlessly and with much gusto, the Bitchin' Camaros belch up
fireballs of fury like they were born to fucking rock, man. So, you know,
consider this 'un a manifest destiny. There ain't a track on here that won't
peel the paint off yer walls or rush all yr blood to yr fists or yr penis or
yr pussy or whatever body part ya got that wants some action. It's the
absolute tits, plain and simple. So go get it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
