The Hunns Long Legs Disaster __________________________________________________
Besides
an unwavering dedication to punk rock in it’s purest forms, US Bombs
warhead Duane Peters is possessing of probably thee most
“punk” voice since…well, maybe there’s never been a voice as punk as his
before. Peter’s gritty, phlegmy, froggy croak makes the Exploited’s
Wattie-the-Asshole sound like fuckin’ Sinatra in comparison.
Former Nashville Pussy bassist and firebreathing she-demon from hell
Corey Parks, on the other hand, despite having more than her fair
share of lungpower, can’t belt out street punk anthems with nearly as much
authority, but she’s like, 7 feet tall, so who’s gonna argue? And anyway,
Corey’s redneck arena-rock sensibilities merge nicely with Peter’s
blunt-force-trauma punk, to create a noise wholly the Hunns own, a
sorta Nuge-Pistols hybrid that brings Mohawks with shotguns to
mind. This record was composed/assembled to play like a “greatest hits”
collection- all killer, no filler- so they hedge their bets with a few
well-placed, well-played covers, including a rousing “Time Has Come Today”
, a gritty run-through of the Sex Pistols’ “Did You No Wrong”
and slash n’ burn covers of Undertones and Wipers nuggets.
It’s also got the amazing, riot-baiting screamalong “Burn in Hell”
from the last “Old Skars and Upstarts” comp, the annual
state-of-punk-rock-address that Peters himself puts out. Oh, and it’s
also got a Quicktime video of the crunchy “Hate and Love”, and I
reckon that any chance ya get to stare at Parks is good, right? Wrap
it all up in right-purty digipak with lotsa Corey tits shots, and ya
got yerself one of the best punk rock records – and I mean PUNK, not
the phony stuff- of the year, easy.
