The Drags

Well, hep and square alike said it wasn't possible, but New Mexico's mighty Drags have done one up on their already mandatory Estrus Trash Rock Primer, Dragsploitation...Now! With the release of their newest Stop Rock 'n' Roll (their first proper "full-length" LP, no less), Lorca, Keith, and CJ Drag have issued forth onto an unsuspecting world a jam packed looney-bin of an album, one that will very likely go down in the annals of sleazedom as one of the crown jewels of the 1990s lo-fi underground. Clocking in at under twenty blazing minutes [!] on Stop Rock 'n' Roll our heros thrift liberally in the cluttered graveyard of Rock 'n' Roll, only to reassemble and mutate their spoils into nothing less than prime Drags stomp and howl. The mayhem that follows flows completely unrestrained - ten smokin' originals, one Nips cover, and one brilliant and likely impending legal hassle that will teach you once and for all just who indeed has the Electricity! Stop Rock 'n' Roll contains all the Drags' trademarks that you've come to downright crave from these cats - C.J.'s sloppy git work and psychosnotty vocal delivery; Lorca's heavy, rock-steady bass action, and Keith's powerful, primitive back-beat.

However, the Drags now pack a tighter musical punch than ever before: During months on the road touring, they have polished their style to perfection - a style that doesn't just consist of the mindless regurgitation of a bygone era of cool. The Drags take what they can use and wrap it around their own crude and energized ideas about the garage rock thang. The result - a garage band rooted in the HEAR AND NOW, and one that definitely takes their place in the exalted line of Rock 'n' Roll True Believers that leads up from the Sonics straight through to the New York Dolls, from Judas Priest to the Gories, from '67 to '97 and beyond.
