TEXAS TERRI BOMB!
Your Lips... My Ass! (TKO Records)
Reviewed by Holly Day

The thing that is truly great about Texas Terri is that even if her act is a put-on, it's a great one, and one that I wish more female musicians would emulate. On stage, she's filthy, and nasty, and dirty - I honestly don't think she bathes on tour - with the affectations of the toughest tattooed biker chick you could ever (not) hope to cross paths with. She sings like she's just plain pissed off at everything, and it's easy to picture her using a cigarette for punctuation during everyday conversation, possibly stabbing a cigarette out on your face to make a salient point. Lyrically, she's even more of a bad-ass, challenging men to put out, shut up, sit down, do her dishes, and behave - "Hey, little boy/keep your hands off of me!" This is about as punk rock as you can get without dragging your old Stooges records out.
