The Heads - Relaxing With... (CD)

OOHHH!! This comes thundering out of your speakers like a angry rhino who's just come back from a hard day at the swamp to find you in bed with his wife, wearing his silky bathrobe and smoking his finest lifepipes. They are LOUD and brash . I thought they were American - imagine my chagrin once I found out they were (are?) from Bristol. They dabble in simple over-amped riff rock action, simple song structures, thumping drums, and nonchalant as hell vocal styling that is half spat, half drawled. If you were a lazy bones you could say they sounded like Spacemen 3 but if you don't feel like throwing that at them you could say that they have more of a proto grunge sound, you know like MC5, Stooges or Pussy Galore. It's sloppy yet fierce and sounds proper banging... Quick get to the 24-hour garage and get me some Wheat Crunchies and some king size papers... I'm getting baked and listening to The Heads... I might be laid face down in a load of bongwater and my sperm count has decreased but hell I wanna PARTY!!
