Vampire Bats

Vampire's Delight

(Gollipop Records)

The swerving Rock'n'Roll someway etched into discs rarely stomps its brakes, preferring instead to smash clean through impediments and rocket to destinations uncharted. Merged warning/relish is here intended. Only the trash-faithful could cobble Punk/Metal/Surf/ Zombie Go-Go so fetchingly, and none but the happily heedless would rev it into loud abandon.

Recommended: "Witch Stomp," "Dr. Mad Daddy," "Full Moonlight," "Zombie in Love," "Batman Theme," "Red Apple Pie," "Please Give Me Something"
