WHITE BOY AND THE AVERAGE RAT BAND(1980)

Wow this is a scorcher! Punk fuzz from Toledo,Ohio that's almost metal, almost rock ,But has a sound all its own. This is pretty far out on the limb, these dudes are all over the place. From the proto metal of "Neon Warriors" and the robotic punk metal of "Sector 387" to the plodding dirge of "Leaving on vacation" and the heavy stoner rock of "Oriental doctors" this is a different kinda album. The vocals Are always little strange and vary from from song to song, but the music has a similar feel across the whole record, the guitars are always white hot and over driven, which sometimes make this feel punk and the drums have primitive Grand Funk vibe. I cant think of another band that really sounds like these guys and that's a quality I always look for. This is the bands only full length album and a very unique record,Totally worth a listen for sure.
