The Quadrajets “Queen of the Twist”

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.
