"Supersinner" Thee S.T.P. |
|
For starters, there's a lifetime's worth of tunes on this one disc-twenty-eight two-minute surges from the garage to the graveyard! Thematically, we're all over the map with stuff stemming from personal experiences, "Feelin' Blue," "It Takes One To Know One," "Desperate World," (twice?) and mostly we're just aiming straight between the eyes of nothing or no one in particular, just havin' fun and firing away. Thee S.T.P., classy huh?, fancies that age old Stooges/MC5 style from thee olden days and falls right in line with what we commonly associate with "real" Rock & Roll, glammed up, gleaming and ready for disaster. Ya got four guys who make lotsa noise and if you listen hard enough you'll catch some singing in there somewhere! Not a new record however in the sense of fresh material, the songs are originally dated as far back as '96 on up to last year and not that you'd know the difference anyway, just worth mentioning. We'll assume they're still an active band but such is the life of a true Rock & Roller, one never knows. Stylistically, throw 'em in close proximity to names like Gluecifer, Hellacopters, New Bomb… hey, basically everyone they threw in with their "thank you's" are in here, somewhere-EF, Hookers, Leftovers, a little of the "slammin' oldies" and swingin' Swedish sound, Thunders and bombast and bombs away on this listener unfriendly jaunt through B-movie psychosis.
