THE MONEY
It’s a Shit Business Wild Eagle
Records ________________________________________________________
It’s a shit business, all right (what business, you ask? Jeez, pick
one), but Brisbane, Australia’s thunder rock quartet The Money aren’t
sweating the issues. Instead, they’re dropping a 900-pound sonic bunker
buster on their problems, as evidenced by this eight-song live
romp-and-stomp from 2004. Sonically, the Money are Nine Pound Hammer’s
cousins from Down Under – cowhide-thick buzzsaw riffs, relentless
hick-metal rhythm, and sore-throat yowling courtesy frontman Slick Trigger
Mick, who sounds like a more raw-boned and fearless Ian Astbury. Two
choice covers (a deadly rip through the Dead Boys’ “What Love Is,” and
Teengenerate’s “Gonna Feel All Right”) ride an easy shotgun with The
Money’s six nailbomb originals; in short, it’s the full motherfucker from
start to finish. God knows when these guys are gonna play the rest of the
world, but you can get a preview of their biker (or bikie, as they say
down there) apocalypse with this very live and lethal CD.
