Turbonegro "Apocalypse Dudes" (1998)
Turbonegro had started off with noise-rock, moved through their own
'death-punk' sound and here adopt a style that is straight out of the
70s rock, punk and glam play-books. By all accounts their line-up was as
changeable as their choice of genre.
"Selfdestructo Bust"
sounds like a slightly updated take on the Stooges. "Prince of the
Rodeo" throws in some congas to glam up the mix, and album closer "Good
Head" leads out with enough excessive guitar soloing to make Slash
blush.
The song titles nod to the Norwegian group's tongue-in-cheek approach
too, with pearlers like "Rock Against Ass", "Don't Say Motherfucker,
Motherfucker" and "Rendezvous with Anus".
I probably won't rush to revisit it, but it was fun enough.
