Kittens for Christian – Is that what Sex is Like? – 2CD
(Dirtbox Records) The first all-instrumental track made me think of Sonic Youth with that sort of slow distortion-rich guitar style and hot-ass drums (did I say I was complaining?!) On the second song, Cheap Wine, the vocals show up and I like that too, kind of a from-the-gut wailing like lead singer Hiram Fleites has got a hernia and severe case of blue balls! Oh yeah, a guy named Neil Young is also part of this band, but I don’t think it’s the same one. There’s a bit of a surf-punk feel on a few of the songs which is good. It’s got a raw clarity to it and that, in this case, is also good.
