Johnny Crash - Neighbourhood Threat (1990)

Sounds a lot like AC/DC in that rhythmn department if you ask me, especially the swaggering 'No Bones About It' which kind of pales in comparison to say Faster Pussycat. 'Axe To The Wax,' and G n' R ripped MTV hit 'Hey Kid' follow suit, with slight annoyance, all rather formulaic for the time, countless bands doing the same sleazy swagger. Hard to believe these guys started in the UK and shipped their butts to the US, but even so, it's al rather cliche I'm afraid, but the one high point being that it's not weak in the music department, keeping those AC/DC influenced grooves riding high with the typical scratchy vocals over the top - I much preferred cats n Boots and EZO though. "Hey kid, look what you did...mama blew her lid," hardly lyrical dynamite. Sums it up. 5.5/10
