The Bronx, Bats! (Tarantulas)
Lousy So-Cal band that's heavy on the heavy and light anything remotely entertaining. There are three songs here, concluding with a cover of the Saints' "Private Affair" that doesn't improve on the original at all. Lots of screamed vocals by lead singer Matt Caughthran and the expected noisy guitars and drumming courtesy of Joey J. Ford, James Tweedy, and Jorma Vik. The title track is beyond bad (in a bad way) and "You Want to See Us Burn" is a good title, but no dice on the actual song that sports silly antagonized shouting and luke warm riffs. Pass on this one at all costs.
