Music Review: Mommy S3z No – Hotwaterburnbaby
Review by Tony – Hell Feels Like Home
Mommy S3z No is a three piece from the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Musically these guys have raunchy in-your-face punk guitars, melodic bass and pounding drums that will make you think it is 1977 all over again. The vocals on this are a warbling out-of-control punk snarl that howls, shakes and breaks with attitude.
“Cannibal Girl” is a lewd bloodbath that has our victim wondering if he could get some action while he becomes dinner. The guitars here have a dirty, old school punk tone. The vocals are a sarcastic snarl with a 50′s rock ‘n roll swagger. There’s a cool slowed down guitar break where the vocals occasionally sound much like Iggy Pop. “Ghoulette” starts with a danceable bass line and builds into a catchy mid tempo horror rocker. The vocals here work in a deeper range and do a bit of a cool rock n’ roll warble. “Dead Things” shakes this album up by starting with a swampy acoustic intro that moves into sick grinding tempo. The lyrics are effectively disturbing and tell tales of dead things kept inside the singers head, under his bed, and in his shed. “Girl Problems” is my favorite track here and makes me think of Iggy Pop meeting the Angry Samoans. The guitars are classic driving 70′s punk and the vocals are delivered in a hoarse, fed up, over the top, and out of control style. “Pass Out” has a bouncy 50′s revved up rock ‘n roll rhythm and vocals delivered like a drunken punk rock David Bowie.
If you are a horror punk fan that craves the old school 70′s punk sound and attitude you might want to check this out. A little bit low-fi, a little bit lewd, a little bit bloody and a whole lot punk. Not for the faint of heart but definitely for people who like the Sex Pistols, Iggy Pop, early Clash, or Chesty Malone and the Slice ‘em Ups (review).
