 THE
BOMBSHELLS- Audio Wasteland (Bombshells
Music) Had Motley Crue started out as a mid-to-late ‘70s, Johnny
Thunders-inspired punk-n-roll band, they probably would’ve put out songs
like The Bombshells (at least tracks like “She Shot Me Down,” “My
Kind of Love” and “Who’s Driving You Home”).
You know; real ass-shakin’,
L.A.
pussyfest type stuff. And like
gonorrhea or a cocaine-encrusted bloody nose, this kind of thing can have
its perverse charms. But
happily enough, The Bombshells aren’t totally locked into this
aforementioned sound. They
tackle some standard punk scene fare, but their knack for also coming up
with songs that both musically and lyrically tug at the heart strings a
bit while rockin’ the fuck out is my favorite thing about these guys.
“Cellophane Heart” and especially “Nothing Left,” the
disc’s closer and standout track, prove that these characters are more
than just boozing, tattooed, muff-diving party boys, and that’s a good
thing. –Ben Hunter
