Now, lets check out the tunage. By far one of the strongest assets the SMUT PEDLERS music holds is their lyrical ability to re-create stories and experiences in an absolutely titillating/humorous manner. If you have heard any of their 3 full lengths ('Ism', 'Tarball 2000' or 'The Two Old Ones' all released on the bands own Ransom Records) you know what I am talking about. Singer/lyricist John Ransom has a knack for describing stories and situations in a very complete and concise manner. He does it in a way where you feel as if you have experienced these lyrical tales first hand. Just take a look at what I'm talking about. Oh let's check out the lovely Rebatron Party off of 'Ten Inch'. Just to preface the song, if you don't know, Rebatron Therapy is a potential cure for Hepatitis C. So in Rebatron Party John Ransom screams: don't know what I'll be wearing you're invited if you're a hype rebatron party tonite you've got to kick the smack first take a look at your viral load now you've got it Pretty disturbed, brutally real and almost amusing in that 'I'm glad it actually wasn't me' sort of way. Back that with Sean's top notch guitar playing, and Julia's amazing drum fills, and the Smut Peddlers are right back where they need to be...at the helm of the OC beach punk scene right next to the Stiches, US Bombs and Smogtown (RIP brothers)! Well 10 years in and they are still going strong. Having shared the stage with great bands like the Adicts, U.K. Subs, the Controllers, the Skulls, the Crowd, the Distillers, the Dwarves, Sylvain Sylvain, D.I., Youth Brigade, Dr. Know, One Man Army, the Humpers, U.S. Bombs, Cadillac Tramps etc., you can tell these guys are mainstays in the So. Cal. punk scene. They've been to Europe in August 2002, toured the US in March 2003 and been up and down the West Coast numerous times. The dedication this band has for its music and its fans is pretty rare, and admirable to say the least. The Peddlers are getting ready to record for their 4th album very shortly, and 'Ten Inch' will be just what their rabid fan base needs to hold them over until that nugget is released. So this isn't the last you've heard from this warped bunch of punk rock beach bum's. Like most cockroaches their bands age, the SMUT PEDDLERS are one of those few bands that no matter what circumstances arise, you just can't squish em dead. They'll be the first to tell ya... uh ya, we'll be around for a while!! For fans of: Stitches, Crowd, Smogtown, TSOL, Triggers, Flip Tops, Moorat Fingers, Riffs, Street Trash, Hery Fiats Open Sore, etc. |
