Ten Pin Rattlers

Read My Lips   3-track EP

(Sreaming Hyena Records)




To borrow a phrase: Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy. Two cuts arrayed here follow in the furrow etched by the group's previous knock-down, drag-out fare (like 2021's "Rodeo") - hell-bent-for-partying power-blasts with common-man waggishness. Such is their towerblock presence that turning down volume may prove impossible. Which is a good thing.

Bookended by those lusty eruptions is the measured and self-aware "Save Me." Evident here is that the body-slammers have sensitivity; their burliness is (somewhat) curtained off by profundity, yet still thrusts balled fists.

Recommended: "Big Sexy," "Save Me," "Give Me Back My Wig,"
