Honor Titus, frontman of Cerebral Ballzy, likes The Dead Boys. He likes them a lot. He's sported t-shirts, patches, he even tattooed Stiv Bators on his arm.
That's cool, I guess. Who doesn't like The Dead Boys? Young, Loud, and Snotty kind of ruled and for a few years, between 1977 and 1980, they were the most dangerous band on the planet.
But admiration of Bators and co is one thing, completely aping their sound is another.
Cerebral Ballzy, with their new single, have abandoned their furious combination of throwback hardcore and speed metal for a watery retread of the '77 sound.
I really can't recommend this track for Ballzy fans,butpeople who dig The Casualties might like it, and that pretty much says it all.
