The Brickbats - Return of the Living Brickbats

The first time I heard about these guys, Jason Trioxin of Mister Monster mentioned them as an inspiration... so naturally I had to check them out and I was blown away! After a couple of one off shows this has turned into a full blown reunion with their first album in 15 years and these ghouls are showing no sign of rust as this monster has risen from the grave to kick ass and rock out! The songs are awesome, catchy, the musicianship is top notch as it takes you back to the time these guys ruled the NYC nighttime. They flow so nicely into each other while shattering, splattering and splatter some more right out of your speakers! Standouts include "Scare the Pants Right Off of You", "Wolfman on the Moon", "At the End of the World", "Scream Queen", "Horrified", "Witch Call", "Shatter Splatter Splatter - Part 1 & 2", "Jump my Bones", "Strange Basements" and "Zombie Wrecked the Party". This is an awesome album that will have you wondering why they went away so long! Now, if I could get replacements for the crappy sounding mp3s I have with some re-releases that would be pretty awesome too! The Brickbats are back so, take notes kids, as they are innovators and legends.
