The Shidiots
Sinkers & Floaters
Review By: Michael Rys
The Shidiots from Omaha Nebraska have pinched out a CD with 14 songs full of rollicking punk rock cookies n cream..... sweet, palatable, and pretty much pit-worthy throughout. Before I read up on on the band a bit,what little I could find out there with minimal effort anyway I would have said this band digs the fuck out of The Queers, and I was right. First records era Queers too, before they decided to become heir apparent s to Screeching Weasel's melodic punk crown. Sophomoric humor, three chord attacks not reinventing the amp or anything but darn good fun.Does delve deeper on occasion but nothing in terms of a preachy lyrical content. Which is cool, don't like preaching with my punk.Congrats to them for getting a recording where the bass is an audible part of the records which many bands seem incapable of doing these days, it really keeps the records pulse going. Favorite songs of this CD are You Don't Know Shit About A Fucking Things,I Wanna Be Your Bra,Nacho Typical American,Black Baby, and Good Ole Days.
