(Self-issued)



These players covered Hasil Adkins and Lorrie Collins (and did so with snarling reverence), yoking them with self-penned, chromed-jukebox rave-ups that swung elbows without regard for ambient welfare. Erstwhile Blazing Haley and Graveside Rockers drummer Chris Story (here, on guitar/lead vocals) found frantic co-conspirators in Kelli and Fuse. Having got the sock, they leaned hard into fracture. Whispered allegations that they were restricted to dives whose walls were padded was never confirmed.

Recommended: "Runaway Truck Ramp," "Psychobilly Attack," "I Forgot My Meds," "No More Hot Dogs." "Is You Is?"
