Slow Motorcade - Sex, Drags, and Rock n’ Roll
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

LA glamvets Slow Motorcade lay down a whole lovin’ spoonful of candy-coated power pop tunes here that veer off into Dolls-y stackheel swagger whenever the mood hits ‘em. And it hits ‘em a lot. Much like Detroit legends the Trash Brats, Slo-Mo (as the locals like to call them) are masters at concocting chewy sleaze-poppers that you can already sing along to before the song’s even over. Unlike the TB’s, however, Slow Motorcade construct said superhits like 70’s AM radio epics, some of them stretching out as long as 5 minutes. As such, you really get to sink deep into bliss-outs like the bitchin’ Nash Kato-meets T Rex “Helpless Mystery”, a soaring love rock anthem fulla handclaps, harmonies, Hammonds, and harpsichords, or the Stones-y swank rock of “Union of One”, complete with honky tonk piano, or the glammy, rootsy charmer “Life in a Moment”. Although Slow Motorcade don’t attempt to rip yer tits off or steal yr motorcycle once here, it’s lack of ferocity is more than made up with a whole buncha honest to god SONGS, and if sunshiny powerpop like Dramarama, Cheap Trick, Jellyfish, or Redd Kross is your bag- even if only some of the time- than Slow Motorcade might just make yr fuckin’ day. It sure made mine.
