Danny's Favorites
There Still Punk (Tetryon Tapes)
Phone Jerks
Out The Gate (Resurrection Records)
The late-1970's Punk explosion was an organic moment, a turbulent lashing out at the pasteurized rock product that blighted airwaves and shop shelves.
It was also a hell of a lot of fun. An episode in which old rules were smashed, brash, red-eyed street warriors drafted new ones live on club stages, and the primeval rock'n'roll spirit was remembered. The prototypical reeled, adorned in new and thrill-laced raiment.
Danny's Favorites and the Phone Jerks are fully in the character of that era. They're exuberant, wonderfully rough. Frenetically demolition-chorded, urgently tossed off.
The DIY aura accentuates economical arrangements. Like the finest old-school Punk, each scant track careens past and skids into its successor.
Though they're too esoteric for the masses, these discs kick wide the door for a vintage Punk visitation. The hip will dig.
