Brimming with one raucous, upbeat rock 'n' roll anthem after another, 'Long Legs' is an excellent record - Die Hunns' fourth since the band's inception in 2000. (You may know them as Duane Peters and the Hunns, but they've since shortened their moniker.) Featuring a bunch of covers, including the somewhat obscure, but classic Sex Pistols composition "Did You No Wrong" and re-recorded versions of cuts from previous albums, this may seem like a "throwaway" record for those who already have all The Hunns' prior releases, but on the contrary, this is - at least so far…yes, it still IS early in the year - undoubtedly a strong contender for year-end best-of lists - or at least THIS reviewer's year-end Top 5... A kind of "best of" album, what the band chose to do was to alter the songs slightly - i.e. things they weren't happy with on the original versions have been tweaked, and so on.

Sk8 pUnk WiLL NeVer DiE Yeah, must be a joke, right? Die Hunns? Their cover of "Time Has Come Today" doesn't hold a candle to The Ramones' version. BSD: Considering how rare it is I find a punk album I really enjoy nowadays, that's pretty much true. I gotta say I haven't been too impressed with the other Hunns releases... They just don't hold a candle to the US Bombs. But I think I'll definitely pick this one up... Duane Peters is by far the Punkest Man Alive. Can't wait to see these guys (and gal) on the Punks vs Psychos tour next month! Viva la Rock! I was unaware that when something is said in a movie, it is from that point on a undisputed fact. "Janelle, you have the best taste of anyone here." Lists aren't that bad, but they sure as hell are annoying. And to go through a year choosing a list of your favorite releases is stupid. Especially if you describe your music as "melodic punk". You want to know whats really fucking stupid? Year end top 10 lists. Music is something that cannot be judged against other music comparetively. It makes no sense and is supercedes its basic principles by turning what should emotionally entertaining and empowering into a fucking listening contest. Fuck top 10 lists. Top 10 Lists are dick. That whole damn paragraph was one big spelling/grammer error. So never mind. The point is, stop judging bands against other bands, its fucking lame. what should be* You want to know whats really fucking stupid? Year end top 10 lists. Music is something that cannot be judged against other music comparetively.

"Janelle, you have the best taste of anyone here." i.like.the.oldskool.skate-pumk.image Janelle, you have the best taste of anyone here. i just think it's awesome with the duane/corey dual/trade-off vox. i don't know; just think it's a great release. The way you described the content makes it seem like the same idea of the content in Cheap Shots, Youth Anthems in which case it really wouldn't be elegible for a year-end "best of" list since it's really just a rarities compilation. Interview with Duane Peters: This album is good shit. They playing Warped Tour, I cant wait. |
