To
be honest I thought the year started off kind of lame.
But
hell was I wrong !!! A few days ago I got a package in
my
mailbox
and man....been french kissing my mail man ever
since!!!
All
out of tha blue I found Tha
new demo by the LOW POINT DRAINS
on
my doorstep. Mr postman... you made me see the light,
again,
when I was wandering out there in the dark.
Man,
I was impressed with their previous one. But this one even steps
up
the gas a little further. Hopefully these guys wear crash helmets
while
rehearsing. Cause they come flying through the corner in a way
even
Will Hartog would wet his pants!!! Who cares about the
splitting up
of
the Oblivians when it only takes two guys from
songs
like "Drunken Man"? What to expect from this record in a nutshell?
We'll
take your personal favourites like Jon Spencer, Oblivians,
Bantam
Rooster, the Revelators and even a bit of the Dirtys and
step
it up a gear! These guys sound like their favourite records
without
being fucking copy cats !!! And in my opinion that's
what
making music is all about. Play the music you like, your own way.
And
that's exactly what these guys are doing. And if you don't
get
the message yet: listen to their song:
"I
don't wanna be on Stardump"
maybe then you'll hear the difference
between
wanna be tha Ramones and wanna sound like tha Ramones.
It's
only the first month of the year and it could be so that
the
best record of the year is already made.
LOW
POINT DRAINS that's tha word for now. Buy the goddamn
record !!
