Memphis garage punks the Oblivians split at the end of the century, various key player permutations finally recapitalizing four years ago.
The stringy solos, snotty vocals, and stomping sixties riffs remain, but the invigorating profanity and surly nihilism of old is toned down in favor of a more mature assimilation of classic blues and soul forms, though still spat at breakneck speed.
Little War Child is an unexpected pop-soul gem, and a cover of the Louisiana R&B-zydeco singer Stephanie McDee’s rousing rebel party song Call The Police is a surefire shack-shaker.
