lot of folderol. These old timers are hard at it with 8 new tunes. There’s taking their early bird rock and roll show on the road with new songs and a fistful of AARP coupons.
There’s a blustery, lighthearted playfulness running the length of the disc. “Boom-Chicka-Pop,” “Me-Me, No-No,” and “Sad Banana,” are all silly bits of fun. The band seems to have cornered the market on distortion fueled, buoyant numbers. Which is great, because it’s always important to have an angle.
There’s also three covers on here. Katy Perry, The Ramones and Motorhead. “I Kissed a Girl” tromps about with brash aplomb. The band does a nice job of changing up a Ramones song without destroying it. “She’s the One” has a nice vocal back and forth with Katty Pleasant and Harvey Geezër. His vocal delivery is sly and wan. He plays it cool here, and it’s refreshing.
Closing number, “(We Are) The Road Crew” is a fine tribute to Motorhead, and the passing of the inimitable Lemmy Kilmister. The band is in fine form here. There’s exceptional guitar leads here from Leonard Geezër. The solo that closes out the song, turns and growls, moving inward on itself, and builds a head of steam, charging to the end. Softly, Harvey Geezer offers these insightful words of wisdom as the song churns, “If you think you’re too old for rock n roll/Then you are.”
Amen.
