Candy Snatchers Good Riddance / Round Up 7″
Two new tracks of pure, unadulterated rock’n’roll from Virginia Beach’s own CANDY SNATCHERS, now entering their thirty-third year of existence. What’s left to say about a band that’s been consistently active for the last three decades? Vocalist Larry May sounds like a combination of MEAT LOAF and Lux Interior of CRAMPS fame. May’s range and energy is equal parts impressive and inspirational. Some folks begin phoning it all in after a measly ten years, but Larry’s still out there spitting venom—full of piss, vinegar, and Mountain Dew. I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk about the music itself. This slab sounds fantastic; beautiful production and tight as hell. I’m a tad shocked at how much I love this little piece of wax. Proof that punk can get better with age.
