Review:
When
I settled down to listen to “Earth Hog” by Chubby Thunderous Bad
Kush Masters for the first time I had an inkling that I wasn’t in
for a progressive post rock concept album in four movements. Turns
out that I was right, as what we have here is five tracks of
balls-out, full-party, filthy, stoner rock that will take you from
clean shaven to massive dirty beard in just under 30 minutes.
If
the idea of a band combining the good time stoner rock of Fu Manchu
and the darker, nastier sounds of Weedeater with a hybrid of John
Garcia and Matt Pike on vocals sounds like a great idea, CTBKM are
the band you’ve been waiting for. Consisting of members of fine
current and former bands such as Dopefight, Grey Widow and Witchfist,
you know that you are in safe hands here.
Roaring
into life with the title track, every song here is roughly five
minutes of sleazy, fuzzy riffs of all shapes and sizes, traversing
twists and turns you don’t normally expect from this kind of music.
Rarely do things slow down below a breakneck pace, exhibited
particularly well by the exhilarating, high-octane intro to
“Chopsticks and Bad Meatballs”. Finale “Riff Richard” takes a
bit of a breather, beginning at a sedate tempo. This doesn’t last
long though as the band put pedal to metal once more and lock into a
Children of the Grave-style galloping chug before you know it. If you
aren’t already sold on the idea of CTBKM, the liberal use of
cowbell and bass wah throughout should be enough to win over
sceptics.
Full
respect to Sam Thredder too, fresh from making Earthmass’ recent
“Collapse” sound galactically crushing he works his production
magic again here to make everything sound suitably Chubby. Hopefully
this album will get a full physical, preferably vinyl, release soon
as it’s an intoxicating blast of infectious dirty rock’n’roll
that deserves to be heard far and wide.
