Didn't see this one coming. Straight from left field a five track EP featuring the awesome Texas Terri hits the death decks at Uber Rock and you just know how this full bloodied beast is going to pan out, right?

'With My Machines' is scuzzy, dirty big jack boot bass drum and jerking guitar riff swaggering towards a chorus that's bursting with attitude, and it's always a pleasure to hear Texas Terri strutting her stuff over the airways.

'Mainline' is also rock solid and has some very nice "whoo-hoos" and a bucket full of energy like everything Texas Terri puts her name to. This band plays hard and aggressive and aren't about to compromise. It's a simple formula that has graced stereos for decades. Electric guitar, bass, drums and voice all used to great effect and articulate some stonking, primal, good time, dirty rock and roll. It's always a pleasure.

'Rocket Red' has a great beat as it thumps its way to a rather cool chorus (of sorts) with a style that harks back to the classic Damned début: it was no accident that Terri was chosen to front the James & Scabies line-up when touring that record, and these original songs have a similar feel and no doubt come from the same place so getting Terri in to perform lead vocals is a great move and she doesn't let the Vampire Junkies down, in fact she seems an inspired choice for these songs.

'Denmark Street' is the outstanding track on offer here on an EP of high quality. A great melody and arrangement and a middle eight that has some thunderous drumming and bass that is raw, emotional and full of passion whilst Texas Terri narrates over the top before a blistering lead solo kicks in. What a top tune!

The fire is fuelled further (try saying that after a few drinks) with some 'Tokyo Rubber' and another great song that has a great performance from all involved, from the rapid drumming to the quality guitar work that slashes and hacks at the heart of this song.

Five songs isn't nearly enough and I am left wanting more which can only be a good thing. From the heart of old school punk/garage rock there is a line-up here that has the chops to really kick out the jams, and with a song as strong as 'Denmark Street' in the arsenal it's a band I'd like to hear more of please. Glunk as fuck!
