04042014 - Electrocutes "Steal Yer Lunch Money"

Electrocutes were basically The Donnas, but still not the same band. The four members started out as The Electrocutes, then formed The Donnas some years later and kept the two bands going simultaneously. This album - their only - was even released a year after the first Donnas record, and this album was released in the same year as The Donnas' second! So, what's the main difference? This is way rougher, punkier and more abrasive, and the 14 songs here are angry explosions of fuzz, noise and shouts. None of these songs break the 2 minute mark, and the shortest are a mere 47 seconds long, so there's no time to get bored here. One could argue that it's not very well played and the songs are the tiniest bit repetitive, but that would just be admitting to be a boring old fart. However, it's understandable why they decided to focus fully on The Donnas...
