Review: Jonny & The Black Frames - Revolver Junkies
Jonny & The
Black Frames have been local faves for several years now. And
although to date they haven't put out a bad release, I have felt that
they haven't totally captured the complete package of what they so
deftly deliver live. In their defense, that's a damn tall order. And I highly recommend any and all of their material that you can get your hands on. The
critters in Huntsville, Alabama, as well as a lot of the Southeast, have known what's up for eons and
still can't get enough of 'em. That's why Revolver Junkies is so
important. This is equal parts the document the scene has been raving
for and the badass punk rock record you've been needing.
"So
what the hell do they sound like?"
When Jonny &
The Black Frames aren't giving us rock'n'roll with pure punk energy, they're putting out punk with solid rock'n'roll balls. These
folks have got the entire delirious history of loud guitar pumping in
their veins. Pumping so hard, in fact, there oughta be a health
warning on the back. Overdriven Chuck Berry is one thing, but they
take it to the next level. They ain't afraid to get dirty. They ain't
afraid to get dark. I bet these motherfuckers wore sunglasses in the
studio with the lights punched out. Rockabilly, old-school punk,
new-school punk, glam, metal? It just comes natural to them.
It all belongs and it doesn't sound crazy or pretentious or stupid.
It's all just rock'n'roll to them.
Buy this ASAP
and see them live whenever ya get a chance!! -Harmless
