Boomstick Adorable Party Monster CD
Shout out to the Army of Darkness reference. Slightly tongue-in-cheek, slightly political punk with a thrash edge, as if one of the early Fat Wreck bands like GOOBER PATROL started playing through a Metal Zone. I’m partial to the vocalist, as they really tie everything together—very charismatic, sounding like a combination of Greg Graffin of BAD RELIGION and Richard Butler of PSYCHEDELIC FURS fame. Catchy stuff; I had their song “Throw Rocks at Nazis” stuck in my head all day. My only complaint: I don’t know how many more times I can handle hearing the Jeff Daniels Newsroom monologue sampled on a punk record. You know the one I’m talking about. It’s been done to death, and it’s way too long. Otherwise, this deserves a couple spins.
