Sidewinders

Sidewinder Frenzy

(JANGR)

Streaming athwart late-night boulevards in the wake of Punk's much-needed knee-capping of self-indulgent corporate Rock product, the Sidewinders epitomized England's early 1980s Psychobilly moment. Everything rattled and shook with wonderful amateurishness, breathlessly obsessed with headlong trajectory. Roughness was a magnet. Momentum flew unstoppably. The nervy message was that anyone could grab up an instrument, pull a face, and shake it down. Confronted by plugged-in teen turbulence, legions of yobs took razors to their heads and swarmed into pits.
