THE DIRTBOMBS - We Have You Surrounded
Doubling up on bass and drums with two band members apiece gives the Dirtbombs a uniquely full garage-rock sound, with the kits often L-R'ed for a, um, surrounding headphone experience. Mick Collins and crew touch on a variety of sub-styles with We Have You..., but when they ditch the soul-stained punk completely and veer off into dancier territory, the fuzziness and campiness at hand bring to mind not Detroit but instead Wax Trax!-era Chicago a la RevCo/Thrill Kill Kult. Stick around for eight-minute near-album-closer "Race To The Bottom", a synthesized feedback squall worth waiting for.
