]]> The Quadrajets “Queen of the Twist” b/w “Gr-Rrr” and “Justice” 1995. Sympathy for the Record Industry. Southern-fried trash-n-thrash garage rock, “Queen of the Twist” was The Quadrajets’ second single, also appearing on their first LP When I Lay My Burden Down. Lo-fi and gritty, “Queen” is exhilaratingly thrashy, but the first track on the B-side, “Gr-Rrr” is even better: a bit of ass-shaking garage funk extolling the awesomeness of a GTO. “Justice,” the second track on Side B, is an adrenaline-rush cover of Austin-based garage punks Poison 13′s “Justice” which originally appeared on their 1984 album Poison 13 on Wrestler Records. Both versions are killer with highly addictive bass grooves.

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 [...]

]]> 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.
