Hotrod Hillbillies

"Why Can't You Love Me"   digital single

(HRHB Records)



It's secure speculation that, were this gravelly substance bottled, the label would feature a skull and crossbones. Twist off the cap anyway, but hold it at arm's length - Texas toxicity will flood airspace. 

Making their way through no-shit crunch are Xavier Ortiz's guitar lines, hazardous ones from which no MD license would rally. Abetting Xavier and dangerous drummer Mike C. is Tony Slash, he of Rocketz infamy. (The Golden State ripsnorter grapples a doghouse.) Repeat dosings of the amphetemine thrill-tonic are prescribed.

Dave Irish produced at California's Pot of Gold studio. The storied band's forthcoming 25th Anniversary LP will include this track, as well as other new ones, live recordings, and previously unheard demos.
