Fact #120500

This rambunctious Memphis-based quartet has been kicking up a storm on the local bar-band scene for ages but ,finally, you can peek into the heart of their punked-up rock’n’roll volcano. Frontman James Godwin is a no-holds-barred Dylanesque vocalist and lyricist who would have been perfectly at home in New York City’s CBGB’s in 1976, and his band knocks up a frantic facsimile of the poppier aspects of The Velvet Underground, with songs that rarely stretch beyond three-minutes. Titles like Fran Got Sectioned and Party Dracula pretty much tell you what to expect most of the time, but the sensitive words of warning in Streets Get Slick suggest there’s a significantly subtler band lurking inside which will reveal itself on later albums. Meanwhile, just relish their short sharp shocks.
