Album Reviews

I’ve been a fan ever since I heard “Desert Shores” and became even more of a fan after having seen them play live. Armed with nasty punkrock, a washboard, a snotty vocalist and an invasion of styles that pop up out of nowhere throughout the album, Throw Rag doesn’t bore for a single second. A little bit of The Damned here (“Space Hump Me”), some blues there and Mexican influences in opener “Si Dios Quiere”, it’s all they need to get me all riled up. And in case you don’t pick up on the fun and the band’s energy after “Desert Shores”, “Mission’s Message”, you still have “Don’t Be Afraid To Pogo” (originally by The Gears) left to whip you up in a frenzy.
