Ghettobillies - Week Of 5/27/02
Song - "Best Friend" from their 3 song Demo CD
More can be heard at the band's site.

From the AMG write-up on the band: .."a whirlwind of pop culture references and sneak peeks at the seamy underbelly of society, more along the lines of the Rugburns or maybe the Kingston Trio on acid. Song topics can range anywhere from proctology and pornography, to tender love songs about one legged ladies and the minister's daughter, and are sung with such earnestness that the listener can scarcely believe their ears."

Title: Hits the mark, and some
What I Think: The usual amount of excellent guitar work, great harmonizing, witty lyrics and quick pace that I have come to expect from the 'Billies. They continue to fine tune their sound, which combines elements from country, cock rock, pop, funk, and more. Great stuff!
Extra Credit Items: Driving guitars!

Title: Weird Vibe
What I Think: There is just nothing terribly special going on here... I really didn't dig the lyrics or what the instruments were doing. The song just kinda made me think, "What?".
Extra Credit Items: Well, with such a horrible review you would think I have nothing good to say, but I did think the production was pro sounding. Nice work there, guys.

What I Think: Great tune. Catchy enough for radio, but not stupid pop song sound. These guys are awesome. Sometimes the vocals get covered up (Rob, after second chorus).
Extra Credit Items: it just makes you want to move a little - no sitting still for the Ghettobillies!

Title: Classic Billies with pinch of Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy
What I Think: Definitely heavier than their usual. The flavor is a little rougher than I expected, but we must evolve if we are ever to achieve omnipotence.
Extra Credit Items: The lyrics. We are the GBP.

Title: this song kicks ass! it's about time somebody out there started making some quality music again.
What I Think: super catchy.
sound is superb.
vocals are great and strong. guitars are rippin and the drums are crystalline!!
Extra Credit Items: the lyrics are what makes this song. very rythmical and timed. keeps the tune movin' AND they make perfect sense. i'm sure everybody at one time or another has wanted to say this to their bo who cheated on them.
it's got a point and it doesn't get wishy washy or boring.
the production sounds as good as it can get.

Title: Oh No You Didn't
What I Think: Imaginative lyrics, I've never heard another song about this. At least not one that came right out and said it. Just think, this happens every day, someone sleeps with his girl's best friend, but no one has put it to music (that I know of). Plus, this song just plain rocks. Well done, boys.
Extra Credit Items: Excellent guitar riffs, the rythym is tight. Great voice overs. Definitely quality production.

Title: ROCK ON!!!!!!
What I Think: I think that the Ghettobillies are a very, very talented group. They have their OWN style. Not only their own style in appearance but also in their lyrics. It's not the same 'ol mind numbing songs that we hear on the radio or on MTV everyday. I think it is refreshing, not to mention ABOUT TIME!! I think it would be a shame if the world didn't get the chancce to hear this band play.

Title: Lacking Lots
What I Think: I really wasn't into this sound at all. The lyrics/vocals and guitars kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Sounded like something that should have stayed in the eighties.
