It’s crazy, deformed, and probably corrupt - I love it, love it, love it!

The group describe themselves as “Rock Candy-garagenicks” and that are about this unique place. If Nuggets are now being compiled, it would have pride of place.

Everything that has been fantastic in punk’76 is here with the true sound of the garage b-bands in the mid to late des’60 ’s, which could come from any year since the invention of distortion. They are Bratty, sneering thunders and song with a twisted inevitable - three minutes of magic acid tinged with a bitter heart.

Rumors are that this is not the best track on the nouveau’200millionthousand ‘album - which will be rare pleasure.

A mixture of tradition with an urban take on the particularly country music, BAS is a low-home, messed up version of Barenaked Ladies to spit a little more and a little less polished. The faux-jazz inflections of ‘Caged Bird’ twist and turn every corner, “Drinkin Trash,” a hilarious tribute to the youth and teenage alcoholism, is raucous, rowdy and clever in equal measures, a modal take on “Maggie’s Farm” is fun if oblivion, and the soul of the country “in the year of Our Lord” and “Sing It Sweet”, which recall the early exit of The Band, the punctuate ‘album with reflective beauty.

Schizophrenic sometimes to the point of bewilderment, but ultimately rewarding, BAS undoubtedly offers something new and vital for a genre that, outside its most rebellious protagonists, a lot of promises, but few offer. Abandonment, good honest fun and a sense of mischief have rarely sounded so sweet.
