Celebrity Autopsy - Fast American Rock n Roll

Don't know much about St. Louis punk band Celebrity Autopsy, except for:
1) I like the band name (even though another band also shares it)
2) Their songs rock
3) Punk News says good things about 'em below....



...and that's alright for me.

This is unabashed guitar-driven rock 'n’ roll played by young punkers that have nothing on their agenda but to bowl you over with two tons of guitars, piss, vinegar and driving rhythm. The dueling guitars don’t stop squealing throughout the all-too-short 16 minutes of this EP.

The tag-team vocals are definitely worth a mention, too. One moment you hear snide, snot-punk squealing and the next minute a Lemmy-esque chainsaw howl is screaming bloody murder.

Lyrically, the subject matter isn’t too expansive. Tunes like “Beer Gut” and “Wrecking Ball” deal with the repercussions -- if you can even call it that -- of being a party animal. The rest of the songs (“45 Women,” “Blizzard of Love,” “Pull the Pin” and “Get It All”) pretty much piggyback off the same theme -- they just focus on different aspects of being a rock 'n’ roll party animal.
