Cover that LA band

-Who do you think you are you young whipersnappin’ punks, how dare you tread on my holy musical lawn, slide your greasy fingers over the virgin wax of my fave rock und rawl hymns?

-Shaddup ye olde fool, or didn’t thee olden ones cover even oldener ones wid the fiery energy ov there sweaty bodiez?

-You got me there young punk, let us forget about this so-called ‘generation bridge’ and smoke some glue together, in perfect harmony.

-Spikes v Pancakes!

We always thought Catholic Boys were the hottest, ah, the liturgy, the ritual and the mystery of resurrection. Dirty scuzzy garage rock shoved down your cravatted throat in a true manifestation of sex power communion, rays of distortion lacerating your sides like flagellant spikes, bringing back to bleeding howling life the spirit of that young punk Arthur Lee who used to tread the streets of LA barefoot like some sort of beautiful hippie messiah.

7 is the lucky number, R&R is about love and death, and if you shave with barbed wire you gotta bleed kid.

Shame CBs split up, fuck ‘em they sure had fun.

Catholic Boys- 7 and 7 is (Love cover)

From their Dead Ball 7, they first smacked our face at Art for Spastics.

So it does take some balls to enter the temple of the death commandoes themselves, the Screamers, you know how the angel of death flew over the hospital that unholy night they were born into this vale of tears/dolls, sent multiple rays of electricity through their chests condemning them to fuck with our heads forever, mission accomplished Chuck!

Anyway, Eva Braun sounds like the beginning of Re-animator re-enacted by a rabid troupe of Artaud obsessed sex apes, you can’t get any nastier than this without murdering babies, well, perhaps better to try another route then, A.T.M. removes the layers of noise vomit covering the original & theorizes on the progression of its guitar riff following a streetgrind epic framework which comes across like A.R.E. Weapons if they decided to ride the walls of Gotham’s skyscrapers on their chrome stallions instead of descending upon the sewers to hunt albino alligators with gurkha knives.

A.T.M.- Eva Braun (Screamers cover)

This won’t condemn your soul to an eternity in purgatory, but still is fucking sweet & satisfying.
