MOLOTOV COCKTAIL |
| With a sound as
explosive as the object they were named for, one of NYC's nastiest punk
players, Molotov Cocktail spew forth a determined flow of piss
and vinegar from their well of politically active bilge set forth against
the industry standard. "Playlist Freak" opens the door toward commercial media hatred, rightfully aimed and striking the mark effectively even by the time they lash against the FCC. There's a mention of 1985 in the song "Jerks in Progress" which leads us to believe the group's carrying a little mileage, a beneficial side-effect maybe, lending to the harshness to their already crude sound. The punk trio covers every angle to promote their discontent with just about any issue that could be presented-which fittingly portrays all the music was meant to from the time it was born. An attribute sometimes lost in many of today's pretenders and addressed in the song "Part Time Punks." Molotov Cocktail's cover illustration speaks volumes about their given viewpoints of corporate run America. One of the more memorable groups to hit the scene in recent years and for those non-believers among us, they'll have you dancing the "cha, cha, cha" even while the "Old World Order" continues to suck the spirit out of you.
