RTX now with Western Xterminator on Drag City. Opening track is a gentle Spanish guitar and flute drifting number with nice lazy vocals. Then for some reason they plug in their guitars, hit the distortion and uninspired pedals and were into a heavy rock album of a predictable nature. Kinda like 80's rock not unlike Van Halen or guff like that... too disappointed to go on...RTX return with one of the hardest rocking albums Drag City has ever released! With the debut album, ‘Transmaniacon’ DC271CD, Jennifer Herrema was featured in WIRE ‘Invisible Jukebox’, Dazed & Confused, I-D, Sleaze, and played two sold out London shows.Previous press for RTX…“RTX’s high octane mix of rock music’s past, present and future is a thrilling ride.” WIRE“’Transmaniacon is huge and lunatic…fantastic” 8/10 NME“Dirty in all the right crevices” UNCUT “Fans will rejoice anew in Herrema’s sassy snarl” MOJOWESTERN XTERMINATOR is the second album from RTX and is also the heaviest record in the 18-year history of Drag City Records!
