Angry Amputees- Slut Bomb
(Dead Teenager) www.deadteenagerrecords.com 

There is no good reason why the Angry Amputees couldn't be one of the biggest bands on the planet, with just a few minor adjustments. The good parts are just fuckin' perfect. Stacey Dee's got a great big gritty punk chick voice and an ear for irresistible hooks. Folks seem to compare her to Gwen Stefani all the time, but I think that's only cuz she's skinny and likes to bounce up and down a lot. More accurately, she's like a gruff Kay Hanley, and "Slut Bomb" could easily play as the Warped Tour version of the Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack. So far, so good. Opener "Want Dead" is up first for a reason- listen to it once, and you'll be humming it all day long. Check, check, and check. So, what's the problem here? Well, did you see the name of the band? I mean, Christ, the Angry Amputees?? And here's the real kicker- the name can be taken literally, as the bass player (and band founder) Dalty, is missing a bunch of fingers and a leg or two. Presumably, this makes him plenty pissed off. Hence, the Angry Amputees. Everyone I've mentioned this to gives me a look like I just swallowed a handful of worms, or something. Obviously, as it stands now, the whole package is just a little too disturbing for the average punter. So, you know, ditch the ginchy name, stitch some fingers on the bass player, and let's rock, OK? Cuz I really do wanna buy a t-shirt, man, but, uh...I don't want to look like I'm goofing on cripples, you know?
