Remember a time when bands like The Ramones pumped out albums full of sing-a-long singles that you could jump around to well, The Control Freaks do that.\u00a0 From the opening explosion of the title track, we’re off and running.\u00a0 Its garage punk with plenty of pop sing-a-longs.\u00a0 count in 1-2-3-4 and the wonderfully titled ‘I Hate Your Face’ muscles in.\u00a0 it’s full of bluster and has a wonderful garage rock rattle.\u00a0 What’s not to like?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

‘Elevator Girl’ kicks off with a dirty overdriven bass before steaming off.<\/p>\n

‘Telephone City’ seems to be the catalyst to up the insanity a notch or two as shit gets faster and a little more out of control. ‘Hate List’ takes it up a notch or two with added madness.<\/p>\n

So yeah, like, It’s fair to say this record is packed with hit after smash hit like \u201cI Hate Your Face,\u201d\u00a0 ‘Creep You Out’ is on the level with some top tub-thumping and sleazy guitar slashing. ‘I Am Crime’ thrashes about some more if you haven’t already had enough. and you might need A ‘First Aid Kit’ it might come in handy at some point if you’re slamming around to these tunes and the cheap keys are gonna drive you insane. Its ferocious and sweetness rolled into one take ‘Time Out’ with some sweet vocals over an absolute banger that Dee Dee would have been proud to have penned.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

‘Dowanna Love’ is the first, (yup I did say first) cover on the album by Babeez Greg takes the vocals here whilst the second comes as the penultimate and more laid back (really) ‘Nobody Wants Me’ where\u00a0Sherrilynn Nelson takes the vocals and delivers the best sultry Debbie Harry style vocals for thirty years on this dark lo-fi slice of scuzzy rock.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is one of the most consistent garage punk albums I’ve had the pleasure of in quite a while. Why would anyone mess with Jessica? she sounds a handful.\u00a0 Thirteen tunes crammed onto one album with every conceivable bit of space filled to the gills with rock and roll noise noise noise.\u00a0 I love it and you will too.\u00a0 Go get some kids you won’t be disappointed and if you are then I suggest Rock and Roll just isn’t for you either that or you might want to check for a pulse.<\/p>\n
