THE SLABS


This one took me a few listens, and I'm still not entirely sure what to think. I mean, I like it, but I almost feel like they are having a laugh at my expense. Seriously damaged and/or drug fueled dirty punk jams from the Canadian plains - and I do mean jams, like the almost 7 minute one riff STOOGES-lite number "Dance Or Die." It's definitely recorded live, but I have a feeling that the between song banter ("if you don't dance, you're gonna die....you're gonna die") is for show and that there were, in fact, no actual spectators present. But I've been wrong before.
