Screaming Blue Messiahs, The - Bikini Red
Review by Melvin Smith
The Screaming Blue Messiahs' album Bikini Red is a high-energy, guitar-heavy offering that showcases the band's unique blend of rock, punk, and blues. From the opening track "I Wanna Be a Flintstone" to the closing number "Holiday Head," this album is a non-stop barrage of catchy hooks, driving rhythms, and blistering guitar solos.
The album's standout tracks include "Sweet Water Pools," a bluesy number with a catchy chorus, and "I Can Speak American," a punk-inspired anthem with a driving beat and snarling vocals. Other highlights include "Wild Blue Yonder," a fast-paced rocker with a memorable guitar riff, and "Jesus Chrysler Drives a Dodge," a tongue-in-cheek tribute to American muscle cars.
