Mad Dog and the Smokin Js

American Rock & Roll

(Rumble Road Records)



Devastation is ripping the door off its hinges. Without exception, these 11 tracks illustrate the thrill-a-moment, knuckle-sandwich brutality of unapologetically strong-willed Rock'n'Roll. The three burly cats perpetrating this incursion lovingly incorporate Rockabilly and other roots-music elements into their deafening rambunctiousness. This has the swaggering manner of modern-day obstreperousness, though, and asserts itself audaciously. No ear is safe.

Recommended: "Half Crazy," "Turn Loose Jenetta," "Hank's Last Ride," "American Rock 'n' Roll," "School Bell Hell," "Drag Racing," "We Fell In Love," "Big Old Jeep," "Clock Of Rock," "Wanted Man," "Fast Track"

Video: "School Bell Hell"

This is a great video to acompany the song, with a good mix of band performance and edgy shots of the school in all its delapidated glory😎
