The Lucky Devils
News From Earth
(Lucky Devils Records)




Flat-out, stomp-trio psycho, into which is incorporated piquant elements exotic and age old: "Banzai's" introductory riff recalls (for me, at least) the Dolls' "Bad Detective" cover. And the amphetemine reinvention of "Greensleeves" takes the timeless classic, based on a 1500s English folk air, to a unique map-point.

Elsewhere, barrel-chested bop stakes territories with forceful and memorable decisiveness.

Recommended: "Rasputin," "Grendizer Surf," "Ride For My Life,"  "Banzai," "Greensleeves,"  "We're All Gonna Die," "Psychos"

Video: "Rasputin"
