#612 Guana Batz - Held Down to Vinyl...At Last

First-wave British psychobilly, with all of the punk rock intact. Gone are The Meteors' Sci-Fi trappings and mock-horror stylings: this is just nasty, sneering punk done up with fast bass and guitars to give it that retro edge. Here it reads as more of a gimmick, a way to stand out as a punk band, than an actual homage to rockabilly roots. You won't feel a love an reverence for rocks burgeoning rebellious streak, just a twist on punk ugliness. As punk, its fine, but nothing special 2.5/5
