Forget your coffee on the counter as you rushed out the door this morning? Don’t worry fam, we got you. Just crank up “Guillotines” by The Shadow Mountain for a triple shot of wonderfully scuzzy garage rock with riffs a plenty, lyrics about sticking it to the man and a sweet tambourine part to air tambo too. Most rock songs this overtly political tend to be either straight ahead punk (or RATM), so it’s a nice surprise to hear this kind of Stooges meets desert rock vibe joining the fight. It feels a bit like the stoners in shop class dropping Marxist theory on their peers, and if that ain’t a beautiful world I don’t know what is.
