CANDY ASS
Orgy (RAFR)
Reviewed by DJ Johnson

They've got this cool thing going on, this kind of a "Go Gos meet Veruca Salt and the survivors form a band" thing that is as amusing as it is rockin'. Can you hear that in your mind? Belinda singing about her PMS beast dismembering clueless men? Well, here it is, folks. Candy Ass: mean and sweet, dangerous and beckoning, blowing gum-bubbles that pop in a cloud of smoke. Three girls and a guy rocking hard as hell, the loud wall-of-sound instruments contrasting with the poppy vocal harmonies that'd be out of place if they weren't singing with a Lunachicks air of twisted glee. It's all great, except for the one complaint I have with all of RAFR's releases: it's TOO SHORT! 15 minutes. Admittedly, that's twice as long the last RAFR disc I reviewed, but at 10 bucks a pop... Well, I feel it's my duty to warn you about that part. I must say, though, this is the best 10 dollar/15 minute CD I've heard in a long time.
