California’s own Infamous Stiffs are back with a vengeance, A six-track rollicking good time barrage
Unapologetic and loud, ‘The Ornery Six’ stays true to the band’s roots, gritty and rough around the edges but honest and relevant. From start to finish, you have the sound of a band who knows what they’re doing and delivering it to the best of their ability and that, my friends, is considerable. From the frantic ‘No Static’ through the ‘Loose Screwz’, they mix early GnR with punk rock west coast style. With a mix of crunching guitars, pummeling drums, and no-nonsense vocals, the Stiffs deliver,r and that’s the whole purpose of this EP.
‘Evel Mann’ packs a punch, and the fact that it’s only six tracks is enough to digest in this ever-changing, fast-moving time. If you’re asking for a favourite track, then I’d go for the energy of the opener or the more restrained ‘Lonesome’, either way it’s a rock solid EP.
The EP closes with ‘Top Secret’, a tribute to LA punk legends Kaos and the late Johnny Stingray, tearing through the speakers like a high-octane homage to the scene that shaped them and a fitting tribute to a fallen comrade, nice touch and also hints of the Wildhearts and Ramones if that’s possible and quite some endorsement me thinks.
This is music to play loud, have a good time all of the time and get the horns up as the band says – either way, these are non-negotiable rules. Go get some
