Released: 1980 Psycotic Pineapple Where's The Party? Genre: Psycho Garage Pop Rating: 4.25 out of 5 Highlights: Hang On For Your Life The Devil Has Work for Idle Hands The Saw She’s Boss Alex Carlin is the force behind this, apparently. It’s rare that a band sounds EXACTLY like their name. This is sweet but tart psycho-music. The kind that The Cramps could never make. Carlin was a part time player in The Rubinoos. But I’ve never heard of him. However, that means nothing since I only listened to their early stuff and then again when a friend of mine joined their band for a short time in 2010. I see that Tommy from that band co-wrote a bunch of these tracks. In many ways better than his primary band’s stuff. Some of this is just effing crazy. “The Saw” is terrifying and “Headcheese” is nauseatingly funny. (I can’t highlight it, but I do adore it) This album is a blast. It has no place in the world and that makes it even more delightful.
