+1/2 -- 60s garage meets '70s punk

(3 out of 5 stars)
"Though this isn't the lo-fi wonder of 2004's "Rock 'n' Roll," this Boston, MA garage-punk band hasn't lost their edge in the studio upgrade. The album's filled with furious, raucous guitar, shouted vocals and tempos that will leave everyone sweaty by the end of the night. A cover of The Lime Spiders' "Slave Girl" is suitably menacing, and though the rhythm guitar riffs are occasionally a bit familiar, the band's combination of mid-60s garage and 70s punk bravura is a winner. 3-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.
