Pay Toilet$

Be it a greedy presidential judgement or three rabble-rousing freedom fighters from Pennsylvania's knowledge capital, Pay Toilets is clearly an incredible idea. Guitar, drums and life-affirming insight spew forth from their crusty amps, strings only staying in tune for as long as it's necessary. Hints of the Adam$ki and $travin$ky are cranked up to right around 8 or so with a brazen Wagnerian attitude in the realm of audience liberation. Grand Wizard Jim Laden takes the "no fear" credo past cosmic and straight into deliverance, wildly igniting the energy and himself before disapppearing in a cloud of smoke. The rhythm section keeps this makeshift boat practically airborne, which ironically places 4th on the "liquids most likely to be tossed in the air during a Pay Toilets show" list. There are more than enough "freakout" new wave bands, yet only the one TRUE Pay Toilet$ can deliver the nihilistic attitude in such a catchy, inspirational, genuine sound.
