Their interests include “dancing, partying and playing” and those interests are totally reflected in their newest release. Side A is non-stop grooving: “Boy Next Door” is crunchy, melodic and totally ass-shaking, “Two Flats” is stripped-down to feature Alex White’s clear and awesomely punk-snotty vocals, “Penny Saved” reminds me of the Go-Go’s if they had gone in more of a punk than pop direction, “Paint Yo’Nails” has a darkly sly groove that calls to mind Boss Hog’s Cristina Martinez and Jon Spencer and “Unlucky XIII” features a crazy rap by White Mystery’s Francis Scott Key White. Side B is just as great. “Goody Two Shoes” is nothing like Adam Ant’s, instead it’s a pissed-off woman’s soaring anthem about seeing her asshole ex with his new girlfriend who’s a piece of trash and just got out of prison. “Ghost Signs” is slinky garage-psych and then “White Mystery TV” picks up the tempo to a psychobilly breakneck pace. (Sidenote: the band did have their own TV show on Twitch) Hellion Blender concludes with “Disco Ball” and “Part Deux” which are actually just one music-free, completely deranged William S. Burroughs-esque poem.
