Google the words ‘dripping slits’ and you’ll get to see a lot of stuff that’s just as hardcore as what these Illinois natives deliver on “Short Skirts & Long Nights”. Think of New Bomb Turks, Turbonegro and the first album by The Bronx and you’re getting there.

It’s all very fast and raw, slightly melodic and the whole comes with a garage-y feel and a relentless pace that never takes a breather. Right down to the delightfully messy guitar solos and desperate vocal wails, these guys know how to keep things moving without ever disappointing. The whole could use a couple more memorable hooks but overall “Short Skirts & Long Nights” is a fun listen.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
