Saturday 11.10.07: HEAVY TRASH

Heavy Trash || Listen

Spencer and Verta-Ray do rockabilly so well that even if they stuck to that sort of genre play, Way Out would still be a fun record. They’re not disciplined enough for that sort of release (nor should they be), though. “Outside Chance,” minus the guitar solo, could have been a girl-group song, and the rock-influence delivery makes it hard to pin down to one precise influence (see much of late ’60s radio). The brief “I Want Refuge” toys with gospel before giving way to the Bo Diddley blues, and “Crying Tramp” splits its sound between early rock ‘n’ roll ballad and country and western weeper. “I Want Oblivion” (fittingly, given its title) mines Johnny Rotten’s vocal style. – Stylus Magazine
