Sick Thoughts – s/t cd/lp

Een nieuwe plaat van ons favoriete boze mannetje, Drew Owen. A.k.a. Sick Thoughts. Deze op Goner Records, een prima combi. Verder het bekende recept. Furieuze opgefokte en melodieuze punkrock, ergens tussen Jay Reatard en The Ramones. Zoals Goner het zegt ‘Rock and roll romance and the promise of socialized health care sent him to the (imaginary?) home of Killed By Death punk, Helsinki, Finland. Which makes perfect sense—this album is like the perfect KBD record, full of buzzsaw guitars, machine gun drums and hooks that hit like a tire iron. Owen’s brand of aural early-20s angst, with doses of Zero Boys, Reatards, and early Crüe, mixed with the stench of the streets, has never sounded better.’ Op bandcamp kun je iets luisteren.
