She Rides (self-titled) Review


She Rides (s/t) Stillbborn Records
I had seen this name on some flyers, but never caught them. Then, i just saw them open for The Bronx. I was blown away. Absolutely floored. Thoughts: energy, chaos, rock, punk, feriocity, spit, hate, cocksure. They killed that friggin stage.
So, i went over to Armageddon Shop and low and behold they had their cd. sweet. First surprise: it is on Stillborn!?!?! But this ain't no tough-guy mosh spew. This is punk rock-n-roll. A big Bronx influence, but not a rip-off; definitely unique. Think Bad Brains, Black Flag fury with Rearly The Rites/Knives Out/Suicide File chaotic rawk. Fast, frentic disdain spat out over grooves and stomps.
"Coke Frenzy" and "Sleeping with Zombies" ar the two true gems; other standouts are - "Wage Slave", Party in the Piss Kitchen", and "Faceride". Again, if you want something new and different - or just some good loud punk, pick this up. While some of the lyrics get a little rediculous, Providence is proud to present these pissed bastards plaguing your eardrums with caustic derisions, cynical quips, and spent irony; a la Suicide File and Bronx. Word.
