COUNT ME OUTS, THE: Self-Titled: CD

Jun 21, 2007

Boston garage rock from some veterans from the music scene. The last time a garage band from Boston rocked this hard, it was the Standells singing about a “Riot on the Sunset Strip.” Anchored by Hilken Mancini (ex-Fuzzy) and Winston Braman (Consonant), the band also features Mike Savage and Mark Perretta. Tight, concise tunes about washed-up actors and growing old, this would be great to throw on at your next winter party. It will light things up quicker than a slug of peppermint Schnapps. “Take You to the Cleaners” kicks major ass, and if you don’t have this record in your stack you’ll be a no chump love sucker. Or some reasonable facsimile thereof.
