O.X. POW are a very powerful “classical” punk band. The guitars are really loud, the songs are dynamic and filled with creative frills, and the vocals are simultaneously anguished and belligerent. A great record in the mid-tempo punk style. Definitely go for this one.
A fine example of raw ’77 stuff with dense, growling guitars and female vocals. The A-side is a take-off on the STOOGES’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” and it’s modified title—”I Wanna Be a Prostitute”—and iconoclastic lyrics apparently cause quite a stir among conservative Catholics in Spain. Musically speaking, I find the original composition on the flipside even more appealing.
