Choking Susan - I was a teenage tranny

Choking Susan with their evocatively titled 'I was a teenage tranny' release are without a doubt worshipping at the alter of 'Da Brudders'.

There's no way around not mentioning it.

Every track could have been spawned from the pen of Dee Dee, but only after he's spent a night on the town with Jayne County and fried his brain with amyl nitrate.

It sounds like a filthy audio travel guide to the sex clubs of the Bowery. And that's a good thing.

Can you imagine Joey singing 'Oprah's Sweet Tampon'?

No, neither can I. So that's where Colleen Caffeine fearlessly comes in and kicks the shit out of the song.

In parts it's like the Lunachicks with balls.

In other parts it's just like a dirt bomb going off in a strippers closet.

This is actually what I want from my punk rock.

A fistful of real songs with a sense of humour that I can bounce about punching the air in time with.

Fuck all that testosterone fuelled heavy metal bollocks that masquerades as punk rock.

This is far more anti authoritarian as it pushes its outsiders status with it's tongue firmly in its cheek.

It's a debauched classic that stinks of the morning after the night before.

A glorious celebration of pushing the envelope of good taste, whatever that may be.

Somewhere the moral majority can feel their bowels loosening in fear at the thought of Choking Susan coming to town, and that pleases me.
