Chemo Kids: Radiation Generation
Label: Pelado
Release Date: 2002
Review Date: 2001
Fine, old fashioned snotty punk rock in the vein of The Dead Boys. Has a real 78 New York feel, coupled with today's hardcore speed. Funny that they come from Cleveland! Offensive in the best punk rock way! Good tunes, singalong choruses. They've done their homework and have nailed that sound, but they have the songs to go along with it, unlike a crap band like The Daggers. Highlights are the fabulous singles "New York Doll", "Negative Zero" and "Name Dropper". The band members even have good old-fashioned punk rock names based on their 50s idols! Richie Valium plays guitar, Gene Vengeance plays bass, Eddie Cockring plays drums and Buddy Holocaust sings.
Recommended. This gets 8 stars.
You'll like this if: you like The Dead Boys.
