This is the debut single from a bunch of noisy lads known as the Rent Boys. I've not seen these guys live yet but I'd imagine that it's a harrowing experience. On record they bring to mind a more fucked up and perverse version of A Place To Bury Strangers with there ramped up vision of psychedelic garage sounding not to dissimilar in parts. The guitars are frenzied, loud and reverberant. The bass and drums are totally unstoppable in a Divorce-esque way and the vocals are totally distorted and indistinguishable, which is good 'cause i don't wanna know what the lyrics to 'Gang Love' are anyway. '****' and 'Ripped Up' bring to mind The Stooges, MC5 and The Cramps and reveals the band to be a trashy punk rock kind of affair at it's core. Dirty ass tunes recorded in a filthy ass way. You'll like it...totally. Recommended to all the Ty Seagal, Richie records, Kurt Vile, Black Time fans. Oh, great sleeve too.
Our sixth release is the debut 7. from Leeds-based sleaze-bags Rent Boys. That ain't no ironic mantle, these gentlemen come at us dripping in sweat, covered in lipstick, lace, glitter and vomit, channelling Crime and Rocket From The Tombs in a drunken haze. The record contains the primal feedback-laden stomp of Gang Love and Ripped Up alongside ****, a breakneck exercise in weird punk that devotees of Guinea Worms & Homostupids can nestle close to their bosom. Can I really say anymore? This isn't music that needs to be intellectualised but instead calls for you to crack a beer can on the nearest skull, your own or any other in close proximity. Rent Boys don't care if you puke on their monitors, just don't be a dullard. 300 copies of the finest garage-punk freak-out our country has to offer since Black Time quit. Pick it up freak.
