Sounds like a kooky one-man band like Voot Warnings or Jaguar, backed by the White Light/White Heat-era Velvet Underground rhythm section, if all parties concerned got a bunch of fingers blown off lighting firecrackers behind the barn, and answering the musical question of what Darby Crash would have sounded like during that live set at the Whiskey if his slurring got so bad he actually wound up sounding like Kickboy Face as a result. Either way, these budding geniuses have surely done for Reverend Gary Davis’s “Cocaine,” what the Germs did for the Archies’ “Sugar Sugar,” and that’s saying something. FEEL THE VAST PANOPLY OF RICHES BROUGHT TO BEAR BY THE AMAZING CASSETTE FORMAT!!! BEST SONG: “Gratification.” BEST SONG TITLE: “Amputee,” which i don’t believe is the Rotters song of the same name, but it’s kinda hard to tell, really. FANTASTIC AMAZING TRIVIA FACT: Handwriting on this copy’s j-card reads “Stale Heat.”
