I'm not sure what I like more about this double A-side, the fact it comes with a cool, quirky comic-book cover illustration, or that its brimming with thoroughly rockin' punk tunes.
Riding on an explosive cocktail of rough and ready guitar licks and saucy track titles (StickyPants Trance is a particular favourite), Dick Venom and his Terrortones blend comic and artistic sensibilities to create a single that seeks to extend itself far beyond its snappy three tracks.
The real joy here is how authentic everything sounds - this is punk, pure and unbridled, as if you were right back there in the 70s moshing away at a Clash gig. From out-there choruses to more restrained verses, the Terrortones keep their guitars sounding suitably meaty at all times, fusing them with full bodied, guttural vocals and manic laughter..
The collection of tracks here are hearty fare for the punk lover, a real gutsy alternative to the often skeletal meanderings of so much contemporary rock.
RockinRollin VampireMan is released on the 27th February.
