ROMEO LIQUOR STORE
|
 Have you ever wondered what a band would sound like if their main
influence was zombies and bloody knife fights? Well, that band is Romeo
Liquor Store, seething maggots who play a brain stew of sloppy rock and
feed off of the rancid booze that pours from your soul after it’s been
stabbed, like, 59 times or something. But you’re bleeding for rock n’
roll, so it’s cool, ya know?Anyway, Switchblade is just full of punk
infused jackhammer riffs and supersonic gut shots which has RLS matching
wits with fellow Canadian rock beasts Maximum RNR and Kill Cheerleader,
and other notable foolkillers, like AC/DC, Joker Five Speed, Toilet Boys,
and all your favorite sing along, stomp along teenage mayhem bands. The
killer tracks here include the razor sharp title track, the blurry, back
alley neon of “Girls Love Speed,” and the highly infectious “I Eat
Brains,” which will haunt you for a good while. So, if you’re the kind of
bastard that likes oozing stiches or long scars or rotting brain matter or
the sound of midnight screams, then I’d say you’ve found your musica
nervosa right here. Bon appétit, freaks. |
