Have you listened to
SCARED OF CHAKA lately? Sometimes when a band is around for a while,
it becomes easy to overlook 'em or pass over their records for
something new. Well, this is a great time to become reacquainted.
You might be surprised. This is way more trashy and fucking
amazingly manic than some of their poppier records. To be honest, I
was a little surprised (very pleasantly so). Their second song,
"Shake It (Oh Yeah)" is a breathless, teetering,
screaming, stomping song that smokes so hard you'll worry your
needle is on fire. The FATAL FLYIN' GUILLOTEENS hold up the flip
side incredibly well with two mid-tempo songs soaked in ear-bleeding
distortion. I think the two SCARED OF CHAKA songs left me winded. I
recommend listen to the FFG songs first, to get warmed up for SOC.
And since you're
becoming more intimate again with SCARED OF CHAKA, this would be an
ideal time to grab their new CD on 702 Records(PO Box 204/Reno, NV
89504) that collects a number of their singles and compilation
songs. 702 also recently put out a split with the Bay Area's own
LOUDMOUTHS and Australia's unstoppable legends, the ROCKS. - This
