I liked their 1987 album,
Traps, Buckshot & Pelt, but I'm feeling even more affection for
Nixon's Head's preceding ep.
The Doug Factor manages to factor in what these Philly lads may have been tuned into at the time, ranging anywhere from the Ramones to Agent Orange, and even the Mighty Lemon Drops. Perhaps those touchstones were purely coincidental, but whatever infiltrated their sensibilities, N/H's garage punk timbre and subtle underdog penchant made for some wailing rock 'n rule on "Still," and the exponentially more pounding "Bad Vibes." If
Doug... isn't outright phenomenal, it's often tantalizingly close.
