Hot Snakes - This Mystic Decade - 7

Labels: One Little Indian
Review by: Alex Deller

Hot Snakes! I contend that they are one of very few pure rock bands left on this horrible planet. You can hee-haw all day long about the Wipers influence, but I couldn’t give a rat’s arse – fucking listen to this stuff! They pound it out like it was easy as pie, riffs seething and boiling effortlessly while Froberg hollers like tomorrow’s never going to come, forging the kind of impeccable, watertight rock n’ roll that can make you feel truly indestructible. The only disappointing factor is that both of these songs were on last year’s Audit In Progress LP, but in all honesty they’re so good you almost don’t feel swindled. Cheeky bastards!
