ALBUM REVEIW FROM UTTERTRASH

The Balomai Brothers – ‘Millions of Women Can’t be Wrong!’ (Junkrock Records)

This is some weird stuff, folks. Zappa and Ween are the most obvious reference points, but these guys have a sound of their own. The basic formula is high caliber musicianship married to bizarre lyrics. Standout tracks include “I Clean Toilets/I Kill You” and “King of the Dead Horse Beaters”. If you’re a fan of virtuoso weird rock, you’ll probably dig this a lot. Others may find it silly and self indulgent. For what it is, it’s a promising start. The only real weak point is the production; in particular the cheesy drum machine beats. Otherwise, the songs are catchy, the musicianship is impressive, and the vocals strong. Go to the band’s CD Baby webpage if you want a copy.
