Keith Carman (CHARTattack)

06/07/2002 2:00pm

Hometown: Toronto, ON

Background/Composition:
Dirty garage rock with a punk influence, they're the Spinal Tap for the gutter rawk generation. Only less intelligent.

Achievement of Rock 'n' Roll Expectations
80-100: Band exceeds skill and knowledge expectations. Rocked us so hard we peed our pants.
70-79: Band achieves required skills and knowledge. Meets rock 'n' roll standard.
60-69: Demonstrates some skills. Approaches rock 'n' roll standard.
50-59: Band demonstrates some required skills and knowledge in a limited way.
Below 50: Band has not demonstrated required skills or knowledge.

Grade: 0

Comment:
The only influence the band mention is Dee Dee Ramone, which draws instant cred. But then again the only ithing they draw from him was his drug addiction. Ham-fisted rock that could only be appealing to anyone dumb enough to buy Duff McKagan's solo album.

Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step:
Hey, I've got an idea! Let's rip off every Supersuckers and AC/DC song, get some clown to groan over it and call it the future of rock 'n' roll! And what's with the geriatric rhythm section? The combined age of the singer and lead guitarist is still less than that of any other sole member! Shouldn't you guys be off at a Yes tribute night or something?

Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step:
The singer is French. 'Nuff said. The bass player looks like a reject from Planet Of The Apes, fat guitarists with dreads are never cool, put your fucking clothes back on drummer boy, and what's with the redneck Rick Springfield on rhythm guitar? This is by far the ugliest band I have ever seen. And they suck.
