MEXICAN BLACKBIRDS
Just To Spite You (Dirtnap)

Whew, this is some kick-ass rawk here! Most songs barely break the two- minute mark and seem to crash into each other like two demolition derby cars in a race to demolish each other. Chris Trashcan spits out venomous vocals like he's been gargling shards of glass, with drummer Jill chiming in on backing vox here and there. The sound on this is crisp, yet certainly not slick. The drums, in particular the snare, have a really good sound to them. 11 originals fueled by Corey's ripping rhythm/lead riffs and Marty's thick bottom-heavy bass. Uncredited in the song list (but on the CD booklet itself) is a killer version of the Wipers "Over The Edge." A blast of fun for sure!
