My Idle Hands

FIFTY TONS OF BLACK TERROR



In America, it would seem that this is coming far too quickly after the incredibly well done and well-received, "DEMETER" which, of course, it is, in America anyway (it was out in Europe a year before).

America, the geographical location in which the band cannot even use their own name, PENTHOUSE. America, the place where 50 TOBT toured smallish punk clubs and went virtually unheard on radio.

America the area where 50 TOBT should be bigger than Elvis and the BEATLES. America is about to be destroyed.

Rockabilly-blues with a punk snarl and overdrive guitar unprocessed and ready for a new millennium of rock and roll rebellion.

Ian Astbury needn't try to reform his old band because somebody has finally concluded what the CULT started with their "ELECTRIC" album. "Creepers Reef," "Valley of the Sows," "Giant Haystacks" and "Lil Brown Kisses" are the best songs that you or I will ever hear and completely erase all of the mistakes of the past two decades.

This disc is unleashed January 18th which means that the Millennium bug is the least of our worries now. "Unstick your ass to the wall!"
