The Honeymoon Killers

Let it Breed

Genre: Psychobilly

Lowlights:

Don Gato

Requisite 80s cover:

Blue Oyster Cult’s “Godzilla”, which is a noisy screechy amateurish mess

Lacking the humor of The Cramps or even their charisma this is only slightly less annoying than their last one.

They obviously think they are doing something poignant or important but it comes off as derivative. 

So tiring.

Everytime I think of The Honeymoon Killers I get them confused with Honeymoon Suite and I am always disappointed to be subject to the wails and screams and sirens and pounding rhythms. 

I mean, I kind of wanna like it, but it never gets anywhere. They are like a long drive on a dark night on an unlit highway that ends up at a 7-11. You want it to be a David Lynch movie. But it’s not. 

There is a cover of the Batman theme and, man, I’m just so tired of this band that I forgot what I was writing about…dammit…oh, yeah…others have done this song much much better. Listen to them. The Honeymoon Killers are annoying.
