"alright - so as the years wear on, i find myself seperating from the punk scene because once 1000 bands all do the same sound, it starts getting really old. i wandered over into the psychobilly/rockabilly arena for a while, sampled some reggae, checked out some of the straight up rock n'roll bands, but nothing revved me up like punk rock did when i was new to the scene until i heard this band for the first time about a month ago. it's been on steady repeat ever since.fun angry drunk-core punk n'roll with an organ. it's unreal how good this album is. i only wish this band hadn't broken up. i'm eagerly awaiting my next paycheck so i can buy up the rest of MCD's discography."

GET YOUR BOOM SWAGGER ON....

"So I discovered today that the Murder City Devils are doing a brief reunion stint on the West Coast in February. That means nothing to me, cuz I'm never getting over there, it's on the other side of the map. But I just realized that I may be on the hip tip with this band. I don't know how well known their name is, but I should give them a little ink, for the sake of spreading word on a great band. This is the type of punk rock band that the Wally Gator can get down on. Punk rock with an electric organ! Angry music that you can dance to. This is the only album by these guys that I know all the way through, but it's a hell of an album to get to know.



They've been laying low for a number of years, this album was released in '97. A friend of mine peeped me into the disc back in 2002ish and I picked it up shortly thereafter. It's a party. A tragic, grime infested party of the finest class. Solid rock and roll goes jazzy and dabbles hardcore. Think Zappas Hot Rats meets Blood For Blood. If you can't picture that, just take my word... I just pulled this out yesterday and have not been able to stop listening to it. BOOM SWAGGER BOOM, with the chickies in the back drop, ... the album kicks out with DANCE HALL MUSIC, dipping right into the organ grooves, which are both dark and poppy at the same time. This album has a little bit of everything that is good in sleazy rock and roll, and is a definate keeper in my collection. Maybe we'll be hearing some more from these cats soon, it's a good time to check 'em out I 'd say."
