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)

Who can slough off a demand for forthrightness, when it's hurled within chord-reeling smash-it-upism?

The Brains

Zombie Nation   red-marble vinyl reissue

(Cleopatra)

In addition to elating hedonistic wreckabouts everywhere, this 2010 Stomp Records release further credited Rene De La Muerte's vehicle as deserving of upswept stratum. (The group's rank having been established by three prior discs.) A digitally remastered incarnation has now been set loose by Cleopatra. Orange-and-blue flame-tongues rage toward night skies no less now than when initially kindled. Somewhere beneath soil exists a rumbustious club where the Brains are in neverending rotation.

Recommended: "We'll Rise," "We Gotta Go," "Screaming," "Apres Cette Nuit," "Sweeter than Wine," "As I Stand," "Zombie Nation," "Evil Never Dies," "Mexikaners," "Enjoy the Silence"
