\"\"<\/a>Undoubtedly the Trash Bags will often be compared to the Cramps, who are most certainly a huge influence here. And although they take a range of garage-like influences, from the opening, reverb-heavy guitar notes to the snarling vocals, fans of Lux and co. will find something to love here from the New Yorkers\u2019 debut album.<\/p>\n

But beyond the obvious influence, what else is packed up in the Billie Joe Armstrong-produced, trashtastically-tainted new record? Well, as they say themselves, it really is gar-bage \u2013 gloriously so. As soon as those first few notes finish ringing out, the album kicks into an uncompromising barrage of frantic, messed up garage rock \u2018n\u2019 roll.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s high-energy junk all the way from start to finish, drawing influences also from the New York Dolls and others. From \u2018Crimes\u2019 to \u2018Sex Beat\u2019, the album doesn\u2019t drop for a moment. Through the trashy guitars are catchy choruses and slick, surf lead breaks. \u2018Hungry for Ya\u2019 is somewhat reminiscent of the great Street Walking Cheetahs.<\/p>\n

The Trash Bags are noisy, brash and exciting, and this debut album is a fine way to kick up some dust in New York City. If garage with a touch of PVC is your thing, so are the Trash Bags.<\/p>\n
