Ha
ha. This crew of speedball 'Billy boogiefiers and Hollywood Vampire high
fliers feature one time Cramp Chopper Von Franklin and Throwrag
frontman Sean Wheeler and as such recline resplendently in some
sweaty glistening grime wiped off Ivy's poisonous...guitar, and
have appropriated the caged coyote howl of head Crampman Lux into a
brain blasting half-hour ride on the hell boogie express helmed by a
set of lost boys soundtracking their own dusk till dawn deca-dance with
Salma Hayek. In the crowded world of RockaPunkaBoogie Billy this is at
first hearing a slight, premature, almost still-born addition to the
Gretsch gutter but contains some real gems in the grease hound murderous
mechanic of 'Bad Ass Dad', the bordello of meathooked
hookers of 'Bodies Piled Up', the trailertrash ne'er do
well laconically looking at staying in the same shit ditch on 'We
All Fall Down' and 'Trainwrecks Always Leave On Time'.
A blizzard of spoken word samples add to the sleaze movie soundtrack
feel and the jaunt thru the jungle on a jalopy cut up of 'Got The
Roscoe' and 'Cleopatra' with the tinny
cheesecracker drums on at least half the tracks makes it seem like Sigue
Sigue Sputnik have gatecrashed the studio, especially with high pitched
Thunders learning Cochran riffs on 'Loco' and the 'Domino'
like rumble of 'Backdown'.
