AMAZOMBIES
Bitches & Stitches (Go Kart Recs)

The Amazombies aren't a group of extra tall Misfits fans, but actually a trio that utilizes segregated different dressing rooms when they get can them (two girls + one guy, and, yeah, he plays the drums). It's not easy being the sole penis owner in a band like this, with the lyrics of the bassist and guitarist so snotty and full of tough, no-nonsense, liberated-chick spittle -- even their cover of "Riot In Cell Block #9" feels like a male- bashing outburst -- so the poor drummer needs time to himself occasionally. In that lonely pre-show cubicle he doesn't feel the slap of lyrics like "leave me alone!" or "when are you gonna let me be free?!", but the formula behind those emotions has already grown weary long before Bitches & Stitches, and The Amazombies don't appreciate how repeatedly it has already been done.
