BULLCOCK - "Hog Nuts" |
|||||||||||||||||
Bullcock's seven song debut CD is Detroit
rock n' roll from the swamps of New Jersey. The band has been described at
"The Ramones meet The Stones in a drunken brawl at a Motorhead show". If
you like your music loud and evil, check out this band. Heavy rock meets
punk with a sense of humour. Satan approved.

Detroit rednecks (how does that work?)
Bullcock belch up seven greasy nuggets of white trash wisdom and speedy
booze rock (standout: “I Think That Stripper Really Likes Me”) that sound
a whole lot like those dearly departed Motor City cowboy killers, Peter
Torque. Torque II, maybe. So ya get cowboy hats, a fittingly phlegmy
scumrock bellow, slippery punk n’ roll guitars, the occasional groovy
girl-group backing vocals courtesy the excellently named Shantena, an even
more occasional fat organ riff, songs about drugs and trailer park wimmen,
a dude dressed up like the devil, and the general feeling that these
fuckers like the Supersuckers and cheap American beer even more than you
do. Oh, and in the interest of literalism, a cover shot of a pig’s swollen
testicles. Yeehaw. -Sleazegrinder Bullcock is from Detroit , and like most times, that means they rock deep into the upper numbers. The axe tones are thick and raw, swelling and ripping space into a million old-school pieces. Hog Nuts is a clever, funny better-than-damn good album. Bullcock is playing the redneck card with titles like "Better Safe Than Sober" "Trailer Park Woman" and "I Think That Stripper really Likes Me". The band sounds like Grand Funk and Alice Cooper's Spiders with Iggy's hard-on. Hog Nuts is a must have cd, that's all I'm saying. Super bad-ass. -H.Barry Zimmerman, SKRATCH MAGAZINE # 128 Bull Cock , Hog Nuts (myspace.com/bullcock). Great band name, title, cover photo (a set of pendulous boar testicles), song titles (“I Think That Stripper Really Likes Me," “Better Safe Than Sober”) and publishing company (Double Bacon Evil Burger Music). But the music? Trashy, dirty heavy-handed bar-rock—you rock, you bang chicks, you do all the drugs, you’re bad-asses, we got it. —Craig Gilbert, New Haven Advocate This Bull Cock CD is great, it rocks! I think the Blue Collar Comedy tour bus got slammed from the sky by a flaming plane-load of Lynyrd Skynyrd and David Allen Coe on the hard rock vista pull-off from Route 66. When I listen to the CD and look at pictures in the booklet I distinctly hear a calm voiceover, "We've secretly replaced these people's coffee with Jack Daniels." -- Tom "Tearaway" Schulte http://www.outsight.mu |
