The Hookers
“Self-Titled”
(Cold Crush)
Bathed in distortion and demanding “Gimme Rock and Roll”. This is the band that ate the garage they practiced in and spewed it forth as a vomited exercise in rawk. Sloppy one-takes with a greasy, cigarette burned attitude. Overblown. Like all their amps have every dial just cranked to 10. (They probably go to ’11’ if they need that extra push over the cliff). This sounds like a poor, disheveled and slightly retarded younger brother of the Murder City Devils with a dash of The White Stripes’s used bathroom tissue. It pretty much sucks and is all the cooler for it.
