THE 26-HOUR BUZZ by SHANNON WENTWORTH
Klover ushers in ear-bleeding second wave of punk
: "Feel Lucky Punk"
Band: Klover
Mike S ton — vocals, guitar
Chris Doherty — guitar
Brian Betzger — drums
Darren Hill — bass
Highlights: "From Beginning
to End," "Here I Go Again,"
"What A Waste," "Brain"
Grade: A
Punk is back in a big, fat,
hairy, raw band. Klover's debut
album is quintessential punk.
Chris Doherty and Brian Betzger
are veterans of the notorious Gang
Green, a Boston punk band with
more attitude than talent. They are
joined by Darren Hill, former
bassist for Paul Westerberg (The
Replacements), punk's American
father, and Mike Stone, the band's
rooster-haired warbler.
Klover is a gritty Greenday.
Where Greenday takes you into
their personal neurosis, Klover
has a more global view of the
world, politics, change and
generation X. Klover doesn't fall
into thai pop, radio-pleasing trap;
they crank up the distortion and
play punk music like the Sex
Pistols, only Klover knows how to
play their instruments.
4 Versatility is Klover's strong
suit. They can crank out a sincere
and driving ballad as hard and
rough as a fast-paced, politically
charged anthem. "What A Waste"
is a ballad with a classically punk
twist, it is thoughtful and angry, a
rare and wonderful combination.
Klover's gen-X musings
consist of being true to one's self
above all else.
"I Wanna Be" is a punk
diatribe about choosing one's own
destiny, while "Our Way" jams
home the-way the world is going
to change, if it is going to change.
The next stage of Punk music,
Klover is leading the way with
driving drums, grinding guitars, a
ballistic bass and well-written,
intelligent songs.
This is no idiot's trip into
musical anarchy. Klover isn't a
rebel band without a clue. They
are not just angry; they are angry
and intelligent. A revolution
waiting to happen.
Get this punk!
Album: "Hit & Run Holiday" -
Band: My Life With The
Thrill Kill Cult
Vox — Groovie Mann, Jacky
Blacque & Cinderella Pussie
Guitars — Buzz McCoy.
Keys — Kitty Killdare
Bass — Levi Levi
Drums — Dick Fury
Horn — Wolfgang
Highlights: "Portrait of the
Damned," "Glamour is a Rocky
Road," "Apollo 69".
Grade: B
My Life With the Thrill Kill
KuIt joins forces with the Bomb
Gang Girizon their fifth album to
tell the story of Krystal Stariust, a
rebellious small town girl with a
hunger for glamour, pills and
adventure.
Krystal hi-jacks a friend and a
car, taking to the highway for a
"Hit and Run Holiday," the
album's title track tells the tale.
The story isn't all that original.
. Girl escapes small town with
reluctant friend. Girl meets boy on
highway. Girl does drugs and
other notable naughties with boy.
Girl's friend gets fed up with
being ignored and leaves. Girl
goes to a strip joint with boy.-Girl
tells boy to get lost. Girl takes off
her clothes for money. Girl gets
loaded. Girl finds friend dead and
boy gone. Girl feels lonely,
vulnerable and has epiphany
about the nature of life and
rebellion.
As a musical story, it works.
As an album, it has a few good
songs, but alone they are not
terribly captivating? "Portrait of
the Damned" and "Apollo 69" can
hold their own out of context.
The album sounds like The
1 Who's 'Tommy" swallowed and
regurgitated the B-S2s and
"Natural Bom Killers." It is a sick
and twisted musical ride into
adventure, intoxication, fi
and a rebel's rites of passage. It
is tres chic, totally glamorous
and ah out-of-control musical
ride in a '69 Chevelle with the
pedal to the metal.
Retroflashback
Album: "Just Can't Get
Enough: New Wave Hits of the
80s"
Highlights: Split Enz. Duran
Duran, Soft Cell. Josie Cotton.
Wall of Voodoo. Kajagoogoo.
Grade: A
Cheesy actors stuck in the last
decade bounce like weeble-
woobles across the screen trying
to sell you the latest compilation
disc, extolling the virtues of the
too-hip '80s. This latest compila¬
tion from Rhino Records isn't
cheesy. It has captured the flash
and style of the New. Wave
before it became old hat.
It includes so many classics
but still falls prey to the commer¬
cialism of the '80s by including.
the too-ridiculous hits with the
timeless classics. Nobody wants
to be reminded that they ran
around singing "Oh, Mickey
you're so fine, you're so fine you
blow my mind, hey Mickey."
