The Beguiled
"Blue Dirge" CD (Crypt)
It isn't really punk but Lordy this rawks! It's filled with gonzo, swampadelic trash rock progressions even the Fugs and Seeds would have considered too primitive to use. Then there's the surf-music-on-bad-acid foundation of songs like "The Nightrider's Theme." Blue Dirge smokes angel dust and may persuade small children to get tattoos, hang out with undesirable elements and lead lives of crime. What more could you ask of a record?
