chances are if you've visited ft lauderdale's
culture room,you've seen the war bride.they've opened for just about everyone who has passed through our little burg.the band is known for an insatiable appetite for live shows,but their studio work has been lackluster."clockwork elvis" was iffy punk rock with some bass slaps tossed in for good measure.the album was panned by critics,ignored by the industry and the band was about as popular as a chevy chase drama film.has "rites of the atom" changed things? you bet! perhaps bee knees over lord,bobby cairo threatened them with bodily harm or something.in any case,this band has grown like weeds since we last heard from them.but with song names like "327 in your panties",it's clear maturity is nowhere on the war bride's radar."rites of the atom" offers up fun by the spadeful in 13 bite sized portions.this go round the band must of put down the bong and picked up some music tomes."rites of the atom"is everything "clockwork elvis" wasnt.mainly in that it doesnt rely on karoliena's bass to provide the rockabilly sound.there are clear shades of scotty moore,dick dale,link wray,chuck berry,and carl perkins added to the mix.the drums are tighter than ever. drummers cadillac rob and his trained monkeys have never sounded so good.where you got a squirrel monkey sized drumkit is a mystery,but with the internet,anything is possible.i'd like to do a track by track review of this,but i'm a busy girl.so let's stick to the highlights.
the aforementioned
327 in your panties:
if you hear just one song comparing a female's dirty bits to a small block chevy engine,make it this one.the song is frenzied stew of sleaze,mechanical jargon, double entendres and .....er,more sleaze.the song has been a long time fan favorite,and it's about time it appeared in recorded form.
a world where farts never dissipatemy personal favorite song of the album.with 2012 right around the corner,apocalypse fever is starting to get rampant.erich and karoliena offer a different take on the world ending.2012 will not feature supernatural events or enviromental disaster.no,by 2012 the atmosphere will be so dirty that anal emissions will never dissappear.the methane builds and builds until one day someone lights a match.the whole world goes up in one big lit fart.
lion in a sitz baththe only thing more dangerous than an escaped lion,is an escaped lion with hemorrhoids!i'd have loved to have been around when the band penned this tune.it's surprisingly well written and thought out,though everything points to the fact that it shouldnt be.i think that's why i like it so.
my final thoughts are there's a lot to like about this,and a lot to dislike.the band seems to have only one tempo,and one tone.instead of 13 songs,it just sounds like one long one.some parts may be better than others,but it all sounds the same.atomic war bride is a fantastic live act,i'd say one of the more interesting out there.let's hope next time they hire a real producer,who get's paid in actual money.not a six pack of beer.luckily,if you want a copy of "rites of the atom" ,it's available for free at all war bride shows and at bee'skneesindustries.com.if you order from the site,it's still free.the band picks up the shipping costs! available only in 12' vinyl format.
