Very Very Happy

You really need to look up the Bush Tetras back catalogue. If you’re unfamiliar with them, start with some of the older records. Some people make funk-punk-dub-influenced comparisons to Gang of Four or even Fugazi, yet the Bush Tetras are powered by the kind of ladies that punk kids would simultaneously have crushes on, and be afraid of being literally crushed by them for having a staring problem. These dames rock hard, but to be forthright, they seem to have lost some of the rawness of past efforts like Boom in The Night. A few of the tracks that I caught myself nodding my head to were “Nails”, “Page 18” and “Fess Up”. My favorite lyric of the album comes from the gnarly narrative of Jaws, “…I didn’t have time to scream!” COOL BONUS= Three videos, including a version of “Too Many Creeps.” - Ryan Stephens, Mannerist Zine
