Watch out! MOUNT SHASTA
is back to put the BOOM in your box! Produced by Steve "Debbie" Albini
at Electrical Audio, this album sports so many hit's you'll be bruised
all over! Kids and critics alike 'round the world agree that "Watch Out"
is the Boogie-punk monster the year! Chicago's Mount Shasta take the blues
of Leadbelly, the uninhibited rock of the Stooges, the soul of James Brown,
the tomfoolery of Tom Waits and the volume of twin jet engines, mash 'em
together and spit out infectious, PUNK ROCK! -like Bo-Didley on Cough
Syrup! The drums are plodding and powerful, the guitars cringe, cut and
splay, like BIG cats (for real!), the bass slinks beneath, delivering
high heeled belly kicks at any vulnerable instant, and John has got a
voice that sounds like he's just coming down from something and he's about
to let loose! "Watch Out" is a bop, a jam, a hip shaker - one
helluva a set of tunes! One small step for man, you've reached Planet
Dumbass.
