The Brains

No Brain, No Pain

(Cleopatra)



With their 2005 maiden platter, leathery Rene, Colin the Dead, and Phil the Beast tipped quiffs as among Psychobilly's fastest and loudest wrecking locomotives. Simultaneously entering were unsettling Creature-featurism vibes and screamed asylum declarations. The volatile admixture can and does explode. Realities splinter into technicolor mayhem. Cleopatra reissued No Brain, No Pain in 2023 for the benefit of all hungering to hear a blast furnace ripped from cellar flooring and heaved with perilous ambition.

Recommended: "No Brain, No Pain," "Black Jack Death Bet," "Taste Your Blood," "Train (Keeps A-Rollin' On)," "Don't Wanna," "Crazy Paradise," "Murcielagos" (bonus cut)

Videos: "No Brain, No Pain" (official video)   "Taste Your Blood"   "Crazy Paradise"   "Murcielagos"
