| DESCRIPTION |
|  | 400 BLOWS The Sore Thumb Label : GSL Records Year : 2005 Format : CD Style : Punk Availability : Out of stock
| | | | | Description : | Los Angeles trio 400 BLOWS at last unveil their GSL full-length debut! Recorded in L.A. with Alex Newport (THE MARS VOLTA, THE LOCUST, AT THE DRIVE-IN), the eleven-track album is a tour-de-force of minimalist, stripped-to-the-basics punk rock: rapidfire drumming, machinelike guitar, and the relentless presence of vocalist Skot, whose dry wit provides great reading even with the stereo turned off. Named for an excerpted quote from Kubrick's inspirational A Clockwork Orange, the album finds 400 BLOWS beating a sneer-inducing path through the atonal, metallic crunch of peers like LIGHTNING BOLT and DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979, threaded with the loveable, nasal, California-bred vocal scuzziness that characterized the likes of LE SHOK. In 2003, 400 BLOWS were named Best Punk Band in Los Angeles by the esteemed L.A. Weekly.
