Steröid Chainmail Commandos LP
This is absolutely phenomenal. As if the NEW YORK DOLLS, DIO, and PAT BENATAR started writing music inspired by the Street Fighter II soundtrack and ran their vocals through an Alvin and the Chipmunks filter. It’s like the Garbage Pail Kids joined an egg-punk band and recruited K.K. Downing to play guitar. Some bands make you want to party, and some bands make you want to burn everything down. This makes me want to crack open a box of Lucky Charms and play with my old He-Man toys. This is very much an early contender for my album of the year. Of course this is from Australia, the current capital of great rock’n’roll.
