Tons of tunes here, though the monotony does finally get to you. There’s just a singer/guitarist and a drummer who blast out ultra-simple rock’n’roll a la CRAMPS, drawing on ’50’s R’n’B and rockabilly.
I have to admit that I wasn’t all that impressed with this Montreal duo’s first record, but this new one really floored me. It’s a low-budget mixture of the CRAMPS and SUICIDE. They only use guitars and drums to get an eerie, psychotic sound that makes all their songs sound like old trashy covers. Self-described as “sludgeabilly.”
Very minimalist rockabilly/R’n’B with just drums, guitar, and voice. It never gets crazy like, say, Suicide, and with a derivative genre like this, that’s a real necessity. Still, it’s fun.
