FU MANCHU
King Of The Road (Mammoth)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

---

In an ode to the makeout mobile of the seventies, the customized van, Fu Manchu create a rockin' soundtrack celebrating the last bastion of forbidden excess. Sex and drugs and rock'n'roll, is what's at stake here, and the Chu deliver the bongload. This is heavy shit no matter how you look at it, and few can pull that angle off without looking dated, lost or pretentious. Fu Manchu live for the rock, and they deliver the goods no matter what decade we're floundering in.
