Noises From the Garage #8

The Weird Lovemakers "Flu Shot" cd
One thing I'll say about these Tucson, Arizona boys: They get out there and rock like a banshee, but they're real idiosynchratic about it. They cram their albums with lots of songs (22 in 40 minutes) and there's all kinds of speeds used. Fast one minute, slow the next, melodic one minute, screaming the next ... you get the idea. I mean, these guys take powerchord rock 'n' roll to a whole 'nother level. Don't believe me, take a listen to their second album and see if you can get to the bottom of it in one sitting. You won't. But you will be knocked for a loop and left out of breath by the time it's over. Pick hit "1, 2, 3, (I'm Ready) (for your love)".
