Ex-Lurker and Ex-The Boys members get together and make a record.
You all know how I feel about opening with a cover but I allow this because they give heft and crunch to Sonny Bono’s “Laugh at Me” and, besides, anyone who covers a Bono song that ISN’T “I Got You, Babe”, is okay in my book.
The other nugget of a cover is “He’ll Have to Go”, a 50s tune by husband and wife team of Joe and Audrey Allsion. And, you know what? It’s a bop.
As well as the Arthur Alexander (the other one) song, “You Better Move On”, which is great.
This follows in the Ramones vein of garage rock with an elevated swagger. Reminds me of Stiv Bators in that regard.
