(4 out of 5 stars)
"I've been wondering just who in the heck PING PONG BITCHES were ever since I saw a magazine cover with BASEMENT JAXX wearing a tattered PPB t-shirt?! Now that I've tracked down the (sadly OOP) CD EP, I can say the wait was worth it: five tracks of sleazy, twisted electro-punk produced by JAGZ KOONER and featuring blazin' circa '77 guitar power chords from the one & only STEVE JONES from the SEX PISTOLS, i.e. JONESY'S JUKEBOX! This is the kinda comically "perverted" dance/pop stew that either clears or packs dancefloors - but it sure has lots of ATTITUDE. The opening track "BEAT YOU UP" with its hi-octane MORODER disco bassline pastiche and the explosive punk stom of "ROCK ACTION" are the price of admission alone. WHERE'S THE FULL ALBUM?! This came out in 2001 - uh, its' 2005!"
