If you were here for yesterday's update I mentioned that Friday saw the release of 2 highly anticipated pop punk albums but pop punk fans weren't the only people being spoilt this week with great new music, lovers of trashy, energetic garage rock were also treated to something a little bit special. Montreal three piece Hood Rats also unleashed their latest hard hitting lp and as expected, it's a blast. Titled 40oz Of Fury, it's 11 short, sharp blasts of primitive punk that rages out of the starting gate with a 72 second adrenaline blast called Exterminator and races to the finishing line without pausing for breath. You may remember track 2, Do Not Resuscitate, from a previous update (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/05/hood-rats-do-not-resuscitate.html), other amphetamine fuelled titles include Dead In The Street, Annihilation and Don't Kill My Buzz and it's fair to say that this album ain't going to kill anyone's buzz, quite the opposite, it'll leave listeners sweating and craving more. You can check it out here : https://hoodrats.bandcamp.com/album/40oz-of-fury
This track paints a picture of living in the wrong part of town but describes it as a pretty cool place. It's called Cheap Rent...
Spray painted, dilapidated, I call my home.
Hanging out in the streets, everybody gets stoned
Thrift stores, neon lights, that’s what I like
Convenience store, sells liquor and stays open late
Cheap rent wrong part of town
Car alarm, police siren, that’s what I like
Dive bars in the city cut loose on ladies night
Walking in black leather boots over broken glass
Refund empty bottles, we’re the working class
Five roommates, three dogs,
No tv, don’t got no job
Get stoned, make noise,
Die with a smile, live free die wild
