Kinda rocking and definitely not bad from England

I'm so hip, I had never heard of these guys. And quite frankly, I was a little impressed with their obviously dirty take on garage/punk rock and roll. Maybe really pretty girls like 'em, but you know these are pretty girls who put out in the bar's bathroom. Yeeow! The opening tracks arte high on energy and fun – and I'm guessing a lot of people are gonna put 'em off based on how easily they could be absorbed by the hipster fungus – but I say fuck it, give 'em a try. I don't know diddlyshit of technicalities and musical know-hows like some of my cohorts on this web venture, but I like it better when it's kinda simple and distorted and, believe me, that shit's gonna count more on judgment day than a freaking hard-on for arpeggios and other bruhahas. I liked "Get Your Guns" and the halfway one-two punch of "Iron Side" and "Shot Down." Simple, dirty, rocking. Perfect.
