I dunno about you but I'm sick of all these alleged punk rock groups that are doing the rounds but there's one exception. Ever hear of The Star Spangles? Maybe you've read the little potshots that compare 'em to The S*****S or whoever the publicists are prostrating themselves before this nanosecond, but the clotheared mofo's that are bleating that obviously wouldn't know primo buzzsaw action supposing it bit their schnozzes off.
The Star Spangles are a bunch of young 'uns that can rattle it out like any one of your "back in the day" NY punkers. Sometimes the rush of adrenalin is like a whole posse of your faves kicking you at once. Their new single
"I Live For Speed" is out now and the album "Bazooka!" is out next week. If this and any other Nation's youth were to embrace The Spangles then this world would be a better place but then again why should they have the sense to take anything worthy to their shit-riddled tastebuds. Another charge levelled at the Spangles seems to be down to them being signed to Parlophone. A major label. As opposed to a boutique label for a major... So they want to sell some records, imagine that. Who the bloody eff do they think they are??? So listen, any NBTster worth their salt will love, love, love this band. They're unscathed by the brickbats and I guess that's what knocking out Cheap Trick meets Ramones with some Heartbreakers/Dead Boys and Dictators riffage on the side will do that to a group. Check 'em out on www.the starspangles.com and be smitten.Live the bamalama is even better and they'll be everywhere this fall proving their critics to be the lily-livered tossers they undoubtably work hard at being.
If Turbonegroid rocked a fifth as much as wir Spangles then they'd be getting somewhere but don't mix these NY kids with those lumpy Norwegien oiks. Don't you ever do that.
