THE SKULLS
Therapy For The Shy (Dr. Strange Records)

Another oldtime punk band reforms sort of - only singer Billy Bones remains from the original '77 lineup which now includes former members of the Gears and the Addicts - and kicks out a great release. Aside from remakes of "Building Models," "Victims" and "On Target," three class of '77 songs, this is all new material that, well, sounds like their old stuff! Fast-paced and raw sounding, this is in yer face punk at it's best. Lotsa buzzsaw guitar and shouted backing vocals. Plus, all the songs are really catchy and fun. Oh, and they cover the Saints' "Erotic Neurotic."
