“I’m a hick sick chick, but I’m funky”

Dragster (or “Dragstah”, if you’re from Boston), is a British punk band fronted by a loud, screamy chick with Betty Page bangs named Fiona. On stage, Fiona is apparently a force to be reckoned with, an aggressive psycho-sexual predator in tight pants and a man-sized belt buckle. On record, she’s pissed-off and proud, ripping through her tawdry tales of life in the sticks like a lioness roaring just because there’s no one big enough to tell her not to. Her band gamely tries to keep up with her, providing a squawking wall of chainsaw punk n’ roll grind for her to freak freely in. Despite almost all of the songs being about rednecks and hillbillies (I seriously had no idea they even existed in the UK), there’s an undeniable feral sexuality to this band that transcends the simplicity of their music. Dunno what it is, I’m just telling you, this is one highly fuckable record. _______________________________________________
