SSM
s/t
(Alive
Records)
With
cover
art pleading for a vinyl release, or a mural, this 21st Century boy
is thankful beyond his years that SSM
came delivered on an 'easy to get started' 5" disc. This album...
there is really something new and exciting - yet rooted in a thick nugget
of nostalgia some 35 years past - going on here.
"I'm
sick / of making front page news", says this band of mind-slayers
on "Sick" [MP3].
Well, Szymanski, Shettler & Morris, I'd say get used
to it - 'cause it's not everyday you hear rock any music
this exciting. Hell, "2012" sounds like the theme Bond - James
Bond - has been waiting for since he started getting all Octopussy.
All that and the jam is about women from the future who feed
their lovers "mashed potatoes and iced tea". Deal!
Drums,
all six strings (that slaying solo on "no looking back" grips
me), multiple categories of keys and vocals supreme - this album.. . I
mean Good! Lord! Detroit! Rock! City! Mothership! -
