CRUD
Devil at the Wheel
Crud City USA
________________________________________________________

Detroit’s Crud is a demonic duo consisting of Vin D (the dude from Sponge, who I don’t really know, but know they were famous; Stacey’s got their CDs and says they were on the radio a lot in the 90’s) and Danielle Arsenault, a hot brunette in leather panties who used to do Johnny Flash, among other things and people. Oh, and one of the Seduce guys is in the band – perhaps the one with the hat, even. It’s a real gang-bang of Murder City luminaries, really, like Pigface, except fuckable. They play head spinning, boner-inducing sex n’ roll fulla propulsive metal-machine disco beats and slashing razor rock guitars. They sound a little like the KariNations or Shotgun Messiah or Chemlab, only with more money and bigger explosions. The phenomenally evil redneck metal howler “Glue” is the clear moneyshot in this cluster of bad-assery, but just pick a spot and it’ll straighten you right out. Imagine Zodiac Mindwarp and Jim Thirwell as half-mad supervillians (I know, big stretch) in some cavernous narco-metal nightclub somewhere, madly spinning the wheels of steel, fully intending to kill everyone in the joint with slabs of throbbing, glam-dustrial super-sleaze. This album would be their coup d’grace, the fuckin’ killing blow. And we’d all be some dead motherfuckers. ________________________________________________________
