Coffin Draggers
Cemetery Gates single track
(self)



One fetching component of Dee Dee Ramones' songwriting was his unionizing of buoyant melody and crushing dispatch. (One fine example: "Locket Love.")

In similar manner, the Coffin Draggers burst upward from monster-man psycho-soil to shout in anthemic exhortation. 

An early Ramones-observer in Creem characterized that band thusly: "as light on their feet as a mayonnaise-tidal wave." 

That's an apt descriptor here, as well.
