Badstrip

Horrible band name, good band. I wonder why it works out like that? Killing Joke, Thin White Rope, Kyuss- all are terrible names.
Anyway, Badstrip play the high energy kinda glammy punky rock that flows from the New York Dolls onwards. The closest comparison would be the early output of the Lazy Cowgirls. There isn't much to say in the way of music criticism, but for music like this, that stuff is kinda besides the point. This is rocknroll as greasy kids' stuff. If you dig Kiss, the NY Dolls, the Stooges, The Heartbreakers and so on, you'll find something to like. Don't ask too much more from it, and you'll be fine.
