 Music for Sinners
starts with an engine revving and ends a quick 30 minutes later in a pile
of twisted steel and broken glass. And since every song or album that’s
ever started with the sweet sound of a muscle car has invariably rocked,
that’s a good sign for these Montreal greasers, who likely spend most of
their time under the hoods of cars or fighting in bars. When they’re not
playing scorching rawk n’ roll, that is. The ride itself, of course, is
what we’re most concerned with here, and this is a white knuckle one for
sure, full of thick moto-punk, over amped 60s garage, and over sexed
sleaze-a-billy swagger. It’s drag strip rock, naturally, with a tinge of
country charm and Swede appeal, kind of like the Supersuckers meets the
Flaming Sideburns. Or the Female Skulls. Or Bad Machine. It all works,
really. Also, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Music for Sinners
features porn queen Jade Starr on its cover, contains a cover of Harlan
Howard’s “Busted” (sung by the album’s producer, Rene Garcia of The
Brains), and the song “Sleaze Tequila” will appear in Ron Royster’s new
adult film, Atomic Vixens. Oh, and Shifters guitarist Nick Evil is
a Sleazegrinder message board regular, so pick up this album and leave him
a note telling him that you also like neck tattoos, hitting people with a
wrench, sleazy rock n’ roll, naked chicks, and all around good ol’ fashion
sinning.
