Negative Positive
Title: an underrated staple of L.A. punk
Review: journalist Chris D. of Slash magazine (and the one who assembled the excellent "Tooth & Nail" compilation) started this L.A. band around '78, and the bands only 7" and first (and best album) are compiled here on CD.Dark, moody junk rock with a touch of what they used to call "death rock."Highlights include the fun, catchy "Sleeping Sickness" and the classic "Pony Dress," as well as the EP track "Twisted Road."For fans of bands like The Controllers, Alley Cats, The Plugz, and The Weirdos, as well as lesser-known bands like the Gun Club and Tex & The Horseheads.Later stuff has an even darker, moodier, more experimental feel. The Flesheaters made a couple more albums but start with this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
