Influences: Lotsa good shit that we unfortunately never wound up sounding like, we started off sounding a bit Guitar Wolfish but it was all downhill from there.

This was also once written about us....A while back, Ghetto Thunder could be seen bashing out all-instrumental sets that sounded like Guitar Wolf caught in a bear trap. Someone must’ve told ’em they oughta get a singer, so now the bass player barks hirsute hound-dog hokum about dope-sick rodeo clowns and the like. But the first song on the trio’s homonymous disc doesn’t have any vocals, and even if the track weren’t called " Car Crash, " you’d surmise it’s unsafe at any speed. Credited to " The Ghetto Thunders " on the intentionally misprinted CD label, it’s too fast to dance to but wild enough to make you try. They’ve got the speed, squalor, and sneer of early-’80s hardcore while somehow finding room for the gangly menace of Link Wray and a shuffling swagger descended from Chuck Berry. Known to cover G.G. Allin tunes, they’ve graduated to tackling San Francisco class-of-’76 dropouts Crime, whose " Rock and Roll Enemy No. 1 " appears on the disc; but the best thing here is GT’s own snotty three-chord garage bomb " I Don’t Care. "This was also printed once.... Ghetto Thunder are a power trio of pernicious bastards who spew up teeth-rattling, drunk on blood, leather jacket hardcore P.U.N.K. in the collapsed vein of the Dwarves, GG Allin, and escaped, elusive, narco-terrorists everywhere.Not sure how on these guys were in talking about us but I'll take it.
