This past Friday, Punk Laramie, Wyoming’s own TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET unleashed this sexy beast of a record called “Stay Rad”.  They want you to “Stay Rad” by saying screw all the damn trends and you just be completely yourself with that punk snarl.

This album is extremely catchy and extremely fun to listen to.  Anytime you hear the lyric, “I want to do something before my balls shrivel up and die/I need some fun and adventure and you wanna know why/I got a wild hair across my ass”, you just can’t help but sing along and have a good time to their music.  The thing is, aside from their many serious lyrics is some sick musicianship as Miguel grooves you to death on bass so hard that if his bass was Mortal Kombat, he’d be committing fatalities on yo’ ass.  The guitars drive you harder and faster than Princess Diana’s chauffeur fleeing the paparazzi, and Kody and Ray have more snarl than Doyle after a meet and greet session with annoying fans. Now that is a snarl!

You want to call your mom for some bagel bites and some day old burritos due to the awesomeness of the tracks “I Wanna Be A Dog” and “Creature of the Black Metal Lagoon”.  Just think, after your removing those satisfying ingrown hairs that are infested in your skin, imagine this album being the soundtrack to your existence as you’re removing said hairs.  See the satisfaction that Teenage Bottlerocket gives me!

You will be more satisfied than an episode of Dr. Pimple Popper after listening to this beast of a record.  It is such a beast that hunters of Sasquatch are dancing gleefully in their vans down by the river.  Madness To Creation gives this a 9 out of square root of 100 star rating.  If you don’t know the square root of 100, get out your calculator.  Here is the track listing below:

  1.  You Don’t Get The Joke
  2.  Death Kart
  3.  Everything To Me
  4.  I Wanna Be A Dog
  5.  Night of the Knuckleheads
  6.  Creature from the Black Metal Lagoon
  7.  Anti-Social Media
  8.  Wild Hair (Across My Ass)
  9.  The First Time That I Did Acid Was The Last Time That I Did Acid
