| Your heart rate escalates, your palms become sweaty, your breathing becomes rapid……… no you are not having panic attacks. Relax. You are just listening to the Bloody Hollies for the first time! Remember that opening scene in “Wild at Heart” when Nicholas Cage keeps slamming a poor souls head into the ground until it is a bloody pulp? Well, this is how I can sum up The Bloody Hollies. This band never lets up. They keep slammin’ your melon until your cranium is crushed and grey matter spatters like some teenager poppin’ a puss filled zit. Call it what you will… Garage, Punk, Blues, or Rock and Roll, this release just explodes in your face like some homemade fertilizer pipe bomb. High Energy, Addictive, Classic Rock and Roll on speed. From the opening “Watch Your Head” to the closing “Raised by Wolves”, this release slams the petal down and makes all others smell the burnin’ rubber. The Bloody Hollies revamp your faith in punk/garage/ rock and roll and they do it with style, substance, and just sheer grit. One of the best of 2005! ***On a personal note, I attended a gig of The Mystery Girls and The Midways recently. In between sets, they spun the Bloody Hollies. My comatose friend awoke from his drunken stupor to ask me if the band started. No, I replied. Who is this? I don’t know but it sounds great. At this point, my friend’s head spun around as if he was Linda Blair and proceeded to convulse his way over to the soundman. He can back like a proud father. The band is called The Bloody Hollies. |
