Reviews

When Greg's mom heard us she said “Is there really a market for music like this?”  Now let's see what people who don't know us personally have been saying!

DC Larson's Jukebox Jury

An FHC's Advice

(Here's the entire review, but click the link below to see a ton more reviews by DC Larson)

 

Robust recordings like this remind, thankfully, that six-string flamethrowing and fevered skins-pounding aren't the exclusive province of arena kahunas. Rather, they are blasted out in bars across America. Whether they constructed furnaces, packed meat, or piloted Lyfts, regular folks craving respite from workaday pressures throng to stage fronts and go wild on dance floors to passionately perpetrated Rock'n'Roll exactly like this. 

 

Recommended: "Drop Out," "Don't Work, Be Happy" "I Shoulda Taken Drugs D.A."

Drop Out

"The great new three-track EP from Feral Housecats, “An FHC’s Advice”, starts with a cover of Beasts of Bourbon’s “Drop Out”. If you follow Feral Housecats, this will pique your interest because you will remember what a brilliant job they did when they had “I Wanna Be Your Dog” identify as a cat. So, if you are expecting a touch of magic and some authentic gritty rock’n’roll, you’ll not be disappointed. That driving riff that is repeated throughout the song is given front-row center stage here and it never lets go. It is delivered in a call-and-response pattern with the drums, bass, and rhythm guitar tight AF on the call and a beautiful lead guitar tone delivering the response. It’s all about tight tempo and tone here and it’ll make your head bop and your ears delight; everything has just a touch of grunge but it’s so clear and easy to hear through. Just listen to that lead guitar response from the second verse on when it gains that touch of harmonic feedback - sweet. Over that kind of garage-rock sound, there’s a vocal that feels from a different genre almost; it really rocks but there’s something about the delivery that makes me think of the 70’s Manchester punk scene - it is a compelling mix. The trippy guitar solos from the original are replaced here with longer solos, cleaner, more technical, more virtuosic, but they fit so well over the rest of the band and those quirky spoken sections. Everything is so well put together in this performance, and we have been hooked from first listen. Want a cherry on the cake? Don’t miss the change of lyrics from “so let's take some LSD” to “so let’s roll around in catnip” - it’s a small detail but it’s things like this that elevate a song. These guys are serious kick-ass rockers with humour and attitude, and it shines through in their music."

No review site, but why not go listen to Whiskey Club's own music?
