The
Suicide Shifters have three songs on this cassette, two on Side A and the last
one flies alone on Side B. The Suicide
Shifters are for all intents on pointing to the nearest place of common knowledge
here somewhere along the lines of rockabilly punk. This can be specifically attributed with
other known artists such as Stray Cats and Reverend Horton Heat. Somehow though, a bit of Social Distortion
even comes out in these songs.
The
lyrics have sexual undertones and the second song itself actually could pass
for that rock n roll style of someone between the likes of Elvis Presley and
Little Richard. The third song is
instrumental, but the guitar work- which is just stellar throughout all of
these songs- makes me feel as if we’re being taken on some sort of story and I’d
love to see a video for this particular song, along the lines of a short film.
Though
this is only three songs, they are three most excellent songs and I would be
more than willing to get behind a full length album from The Suicide
Shifters. Buy this cassette now so you can say you heard
of them back when.
