THE COCKSNAPPERS
A Painful Erection (self-released)
Reviewed by Holly Day

You know, I'm glad I took a chance on listening to this, because even though it really isn't that great, there's so much potential here that it's just frustrating, and I like being frustrated. The lyrics all through this are great, uncomfortably honest and brutally funny, with titles like "Why You Always Fucking My Girlfriend?," "Is Anybody Friends With a Pharmacist?," "Big Cock Blues," and "That's Why People Kill Cops." The Cocksnappers duo, Steve Savage and Joey Rankin, appear to be two kids with a couple of guitars that sing and play into a bad PA that muffles these great lyrics and turns their guitars into mush, but even so, you can hear something good here, something that might become really great if only they could find that necessary rich-kid third-player to join their band and put up the funds for some better equipment.
