Jed Whitey "This Machine Kills Hippies" 7"
[Busted Heads]
Hippies suck, so this 7" fucking rules. But no, seriously, this 7" does fucking rule. Six tracks of rockin', high energy hardcore/punk from Australia with shitloads of blazing rock riffs somewhat akin to Kiss sans the cheese or Motörhead with a lot more speed and raucous shouting vocals. Fuck, just check out the brief harmonica and totally rocked out lead break in "(I'm Living In) My Own Private Altamont", or the obviously fucking supreme cover of Black Flag's "Jealous Again"! This fucker shreds from start to finish and ends all too soon! And they've got a great recording: A solid bass presence, natural drums, dead on guitars and vocals, a perfect mix... It's loud as shit and totally in your face, perfect for what they're doing. The 7" comes in a red, white, and black sleeve with high contrast artwork consisting mostly of band photos. The lyrics aren't included but expect a killer sense of humor. Hell yeah. Buy this record and kill hippies... now! (8/10)
