these atonal / wall of feedback / guitar-crunching garage rockers from ohio have been destroying minds with their fierce brand of distorto punk for over 20 years and have never released a long player that's worth passing up...... (one of the few bands you can say that about)
the slicks just won't fucking calm down......or retire, which is fine by me, i hope they never do..... REALITY IS A GRAPE is just as blown out loud and raw as their classic IN THE RED albums from the 90s, DON'T LIKE YOU, FORGIVE THEE and REFRIED DREAMS to name a few.......(lps you ought to hunt down....)
the formula has always been simple and powerful, TWO GUITARS, NO BASS AND ONE DRUMMER PUMMELING WITH AGGRO SPEAKER-BUSTING NO-FI GARAGE BENT RUST BELT PUNK PSYCHOSIS..... always more low profile then THE GORIES and THE OBLIVIANS, but no less loved, THE CHEATER SLICKS are recommended for those who need their punk TRASHY CONFRONTATIONAL AND DEMENTED AS FUCK, ie. those whose record collections include many CRYPT, IN THE RED, SYMPATHY, RIP OFF and ESTRUS lps.........
there's something mind altering about a band that both strips down and amplifies the basic structure of rock n roll at the same time......THE CHEATER SLICKS aren't for everyone, but anyone in search of rambunctious misanthropic and noisy rock n roll NEEDS to have their numerous albums stacked next to their turntable. AS HIGHLY FUCKING RECOMMENDED AS THEY COME........
SO LISTEN TO SOME CHOICE CUTS OF REALITY IS A GRAPE BELOW......and grab yer copy now, before it's gone for good.
AND WATCH THE SLICKS ROCK PERMANENT RECORDS CHICAGO THIS FALL WITH SONGS OFF THEIR NEW LONG PLAYER......
