Gravy Train!!!! is a John Waters wet dream come to life, with openly gay boys and super-snarky girls singing hilarious lyrics about ghost boobs, 40-ouncers, and cottonmouth blow jobs, all the while playing a giddy form of bubblegum garage-pop that screams Hairspray (if not “holy crap!”). So it’s kind of a shock to hear the Oakland quartet’s third full-length, All the Sweet Stuff, because the disc sounds almost mature.

Ewww.

No need to worry, though. There’s still plenty of the salacious lyrics and exuberant melodies that’ve made Gravy Train!!!! so fun. But for the first time, the band members sound like, well, musicians. By adding glam, disco, and even ’60s French pop to their euphoric garage-rock, Chunx, Funx, Hunx, and Junx have created one of the most thoroughly entertaining records in ages, joining the upper echelon of local bands in the process. – SF Weekly
