Back In the Day, 2012

The Chop Tops

Evil Six: Revisted

(Swillbilly Music)





Crisp tidings hold that the bomb-hurling Chop Tops have prepared a reunion platter titled Fabrikate for 2025 issuance. (The group's site advises that "limited-edition pre-order" bundles have already been depleted.) Their last release, Evil Six, initially saw store racks in 2001; this 2012 version reminded of the group's skull-swinging vigor. Ferocity leapt with fists up in opening instrumental "Sun Down." That pugnacious stance was maintained even as the coda subsided, eleven tracks later. Interludes arrived via intermittent down-shifted cruises. Relish of the Chop Tops' antecedent waxings is enriched by knowledge that the flames yet rage.

Recommended: "Sun Down,"  "Let's Ride," "Hey Baby," "I'm a Rocker," "Doin' My Best," "Evil Six," "Drinkin' My Life Away," 
"Johnny Law," "Too Many Cats," "13 Months"

Video: "I'm a Rocker"   "13 Months"
