THRALL
Hung Like God (Reptilian Records)

Reviewed by Holly Day



I have great fear that someday, these guys will wake up and be a serious band. Luckily, it hasn't happened yet, not before releasing yet another awesome Thrall record. Lead signer Mike Hard's frightening/hilarious lyrics about the devil, semen, murder, and the dead people buried in his back yard are enough to make an awful lot of people wonder if maybe he shouldn't be in the nuthouse he claims to have escaped from, but really, it's all in fun. It has to be. As a band, Thrall can be catalogued somewhere in between garage rock and vampy blues, in that area where people stick bands like the Cramps and the Lazy Cowgirls.
