MP3: The Defectors - Love is evol
Howabout a little taste of Halloween in February? No one is going to accuse The Defectors of being original, but that's not really the point. Their schlocky b-movie horror-themed garage rock has been done many times before (The Cramps and Deadbolt, to name just two), but they do a good job with it and that's all that really matters as far as I'm concerned. This particular song actually owes more to The Mummies (who weren't actually a horror-rock band, they just dressed the part) with it's cheeseball organ, heavy fuzz guitar and double-time stomping chorus, 'cept of course the fact that it's very well recorded. This is good stupid fun and that's really all there is to it. As the tag on the promo CD says: "Excellent music for driving". I have to say though, I'm still iffy on some of the band's misogynistic lyrical content. I understand that it's often par for the course in the world of psychobilly, but that doesn't make it okay.
