Kid Dynamo

Shake, Rattle, and Rot!   EP

(Self-issued)



Johnny Ramone famously remarked that if a young rocker waited to play out until they were "good enough" (by orthodox metrics), they'd be too old.

This work is uneven, crudely rendered, and undeveloped. As accurate as those judgements are (and as much as they are similarly so of one-lung monster flickers inspirational, here), they are positive charms to junk-culture mavens like the present author. Earnestness won't (and shouldn't) wait for sophistication. Fun is most honestly exclaimed when hot. And Kid's brainsick fuzz guitar lends backbone.

Recommended: "Sooprize Package For Mr. Mineo," "The Headless Horseman Stomp," Wolfman Plays the Organ"
