the Smacks!

An immortal psychic werewolf and an ethylene huffin' Old Testament prophet walk into a bar...and they play a giltter-billy rock and roll show. We are the Smacks! We are from Kentucky. And what we really wanna know, 'cause we're so tired of saying it, does cross-dressing count as lycanthropy?
"Man, there’s some strange brew in those Kentucky stills. Smacks! is a two- man gang from Lexington who play almost comically primitive gutbucket garage slop. It’s scary, desperate stuff that more often than not devolves into ugly, abusive noise. So, of course, they call themselves a ‘glitterbilly’ band. Hell, the guitar guy even wears make-up! This gloriously weird album is divided into chapters (and subchapters), much like some ghey European power metal band would. Except Smacks! are not ghey, they are terrifying. Some of the songs (or sub-songs, whatever) seem to be mutated Kiss and Bad Company covers (I swear I heard Black Diamond in there somewhere, and “Sex Apple” IS “All Right Now”), and when the dudes get around to singing, it all starts to gel, in an early Redd Kross kinda way. Mostly, though, it’s a mudbath, and I like it. It’s exactly what would happen if a couple of retarded guys in a Harry Crews novel formed a band in between burning down the barn and fucking a goat in the ass. Glitterbilly forever!"--Sleazegrinder.com
"...songs that range from the painfully noisy to the devilishly inspired. A little ode to insanity called 'Locked in the Cellar' is the kind of lo-fi gem Dr. Demento would wet his pants over. Moving easily between rockabilly, incomprehensible punk, and ingeniously wrongheaded lyric-driven madness, this duo can make you shake your head with despair and your ass with joy all at the same time."--Chris Herrington, the Memphis Flyer (from a review of the "You Won't Believe Your Thighs!" cdr)
"The Smacks! are the grunting sound around the corner; the last gasp of vaudeville...When Mr. Manley asks 'Where Are the Drugs?!!' you'll know that it's already too late. And what about this 'Sex Apple' biz-ness anyhow? Once the Smacks! take their brand of hickey rock down AC/DC street there's no turning back. Who else could/would rhyme lunch, munch and crunch in song without shame or fear of retribution?" --Jesse Saxon, Nougat Magazine (from a review of the "Serpents" cd)
