About Me

Sleazegrinder 2005: 'Their sound is as raw as an open wound in fact, thats pretty much what this sounds like, like somebody getting their leg sawed off while a Mexican wrestling mask band plays the Batman theme in the background.' El Fantasma 7" Terminal Boredom Fall 2005: 'The opener is just the lyric "Fight! Fight! Fight!" over the guys laying down a total shit-stomp. Brutal. The title cut is the second track on the A, and I'm partial to it, since I actually own a Blue Demon mask, bought in Tijuana years ago. If you're gonna like a luchador, make it old school. The B-Side offers two more cuts: the flying dropkick of "Deathgrip", and a fab instrumental called "Vendetta" that reminds me of some of the reverb-laden instro cuts the Drags would stick on B-Sides back in the day. Very well done, and recorded by Mil Mascaras no less!' El Santo vs. The Blue Demon Razorcake 2007: LOS RAW GOSPELS/THE PLUTONES: Split: 7” At first I got that vibe of–is this on the right speed? Yep, in full 45 glory, two great scummy, twangy guitar bands. The Gospels may or may not be a side band of art fuzz Black Time–either way they share that band’s knack for quirky cool riffs and forceful enthusiasm over precision. But the Gospels are more B-movie than art film. The sludgy start is just a five second intro, and then they are off to the dirt track jumps. The Plutones come from the universe of The Fatals and Kung Fu Escalator but are more of a medium pace twang. Also kickass swamp rock. Melt this single down and you’ll get moonshine. –Speedway Randy (P. Trash )
