The Detonations
Static Vision
Alive

__________________________________________

The Detonations are a fully engorged N’awlins power-trio, packed with rattling guitars and Iggy-esque screams from the gutter. That’s the really the “thing” with these cats, they all sound skinny, like their ribs are all poking out and if you, personally, don’t feed ‘em, then they’ll probably die, right there on stage, with their big fly-eye shades on. You know the type, right? There’s threads of late 70’s punk in this, as well as plenty of Detroit thunder, and mebbe even a little Jerry Lee (I think the singer even yells “CC Rider!” a few times here and there). It’s spazzy and electric and superfreaked, and although I don’t think the Detonations have particularly INVENTED anything here, they do a smashing job at keeping the spirit of primitive, strangled-cat fuck n’ roll alive. And that’s plenty, I reckon.
