Review: Cheap Freaks ‘Bury Them All’ LP (Big Neck)
Talk about a long time coming, this album should have been out ages ago! However, Cheap Freaks’ debut album ‘Bury Them All’ was well worth the wait.
Formed from the ashes of much missed garage punk hellraisers The Things, Cheap Freaks have been kicking the shit out of every band in Dublin for a few years now. Up to this point they’ve released a few top notch EPs and singles, so it’s about time they put out a full length.
If you’ve ever had the good fortune to catch Cheap Freaks live most of these songs will be familiar to you, but hearing them on wax you get the same impact as you would live.
The fourteen tracks stick pretty close to the parameters of garage punk but each one goes off in it’s own direction, it never gets stale. It runs the gamut from rollicking country fried punk, two chord funeral dirge, noise-ridden acid freakout and straight up punk rock back to straight up garage.
The whole record sounds incredible, it’s raunchy as hell without falling into the usual garage band trap of trying too hard to sound dirty. That is not to say it isn’t dirty. It’s filthy, but not in a boring way.
Standout track for me would be one of those noise-ridden freak outs I was talking about earlier, Old Cole’s Soul. It skitters along until it sounds like the arse is about to fall out of it, then BAM! Just listen to it.
All in all this is the best rock’n’roll album to come out of Dublin in a long time, I don’t care who you ask. There are plenty of bands in Dublin pretending to be rock’n’roll but Cheap Freaks piss on them all from a great height.cheap
Check out the album on their Bandcamp, then BUY IT!
