Who said electroclash was dead? San Francisco natives Gio Fo’Rio and Sick Face Fallon of All Teeth and Knuckles certainly didn’t. They bring all the dirty fun back to the genre with tracks composed of thumping programmed beats and lyrics about getting trashed, getting in fights and getting girls. Basically they’ve made a club smashing monster that is going to hook the indie crowd who are fans of Cansei Ser Der Sexy and Justice, as well as hooking the backwards hat wearing polo shirted drunkards.
Their album “Club Hits to Hit the Club With” due out in August this year, delivers exactly what it promises, a crowd pleasing collection of seductively aggressive tracks. Sick Face Fallon chastises the fashion of patrons at the local bar on “Fuck Your Jacket” and turns what could be a predictable dance/hip hop track into the angry drunken dancefloor anthem of the summer. “Let’s Undress and Listen to CSS”, rises above simply being a novelty track dedicated to a band who payed tribute to another band through the mega hard synths and witty lyrics about an encounter with the lovely Lovefoxx of CSS. The crowning achievement however is the simultaneously crunchy and sparkly straight up pop/dance of “Look So Good” that is buoyed by a grind inducing chorus and a deep voice that echoes Yello’s “Oh Yeah” . It’s sure to get some attention for people’s late summer/fall dance party mixes. So go to those parties and have fun, but don’t wear a leather jacket. Do get drunk and dance.
