Los Ass-Draggers
"Abbey Roadkill!" CD (Crypt)
Having been to Oviedo, Spain, where these folks make their homes, I must say that things seem to have changed quite a little bit. The punk band I saw play there in 1990, was only discernible as punk because the band identified themselves as such. This record is certainly punk by definition, but there is nothing new, distinct, or particularly unique beyond that. To quote the band in their warning on the rear of the jewel box, "this is super-fast, super-raw harsh-yer-mellow nasty punk shit." I think that really says it all, but probably not in the good way they intended it. (ADAM)
