TURBO A.C.'S
Automatic (Gearhead)

Turbo A.C.'s still haven't chiseled the glue off the gas pedal, so it's still stuck to the metal, and it doesn't seem likely they're gonna be pulling a Night Ranger and doing a "Sister Christian" clone anytime soon. Can I get an "Amen!?" There's nothing new to report here and that's fine because we think of this band as a speedball to inject in the ankle of our day, and they never let us down. "Collision Course" should be played in repeat mode at least six times at high volume to get full results. It's one crazy fuckin' power surge. The cover of The Shadows' "Apache" starts out slow and reverby and then - PSYCH! - it 'splodes into an all-out Turbo A.C.'s high-speed suicide seat ride. I gotta go punch somethin'.
