Joey Ramone meets Stiv Bators and Handsome Dick Manitoba
This three-song EP could easily be lumped into the neo-Ramones category, but as Jason Diamond of Impose Magazine suggests, there’s a strong helping of Stiv Bators’ post-Dead Boys pop, and the opening monologue (which tells kids to smoke, drink, fight and eat pizza) rolls in the self-aggrandizing style of the Dictators’ Handsome Dick Manitoba. The closing “Bored Out of My Brains†is among the best Ramones songs never actually written or recorded by the Ramones. [©2011 hyperbolium dot com]
