The Quadrajets “Pay the Deuce” 1998. Estrus Records. Trashy, messy southern fried garage rock. Pay the Deuce, their third LP, rips along at breakneck speed with barely time to take a breath between full throttle tracks filled with a dirty brick wall of power guitar and whisky-gargled vocals. My favorite tracks are “61 Blues,” “Too Much Evil” which nods to the infamous Mississippi crossroads, the ass-shaking “Get Yerself Something Nice” (which kinda reminds me of early JSBX) and the cerebral (ha, just kidding) “Old Lady’s Pissed Again.” My favorite track title is “Punkinheaded Motherfucker” which I suppose is a grit-punk’s version of a Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins.

Frontman the Cheetah (guitar/vocals) and drummer JRR Tokken (who replaced drummer KY Van Zant after he was paralyzed in an accident) formed The Immortal Lee County Killers after The Quadrajets disbanded in 2001.
