SNAKEBITE KISS
Speed Is The Law EP

Self-released (2022)
Rating: 7/10

Here is some sneering courtesy of what is essentially a black n’ roll act from Seattle, Washington force fed on a diet of Motörhead, Tank and Venom. I hear this sort of clattering a lot, mostly from the South American region where bands seem to have nailed the nastiness, but this six song debut affair is a rather enjoyable romp through the layers of old stained denim n’ leather.

Vocalist / guitarist Reptile has that predictable drunken snarl that propped up several releases from Neat Records back in the early-to-mid 80s, and all around him there’s a satanic tumult going on as Warwülf (lead guitar), Sixes (bass) and Speed II (drums) drive along to that generic yet earthy speed metal rattle which makes tracks such as ‘Sex Bitch’, ‘Speed Is The Law’ and ‘Dirty Dogs From Hell’ so hellish and yet humorous.

Of course, such is the greasy nature of each track that they all basically bleed into one barroom cacophony, whereby glasses are thrown across the room and chairs smashed over the heads of those in attendance and all to the roar of the biker gang parked up outside. This is rowdy, raucous rock ‘n’ roll for trouble makers everywhere and with not a whiff of subtlety amongst the sulphur, burning rubber and alcohol.
