CD Review

Carnal Circus Locker room Pimps.
  If  Dallas is dead then punk will be it's resurrection. In the  past the punk bands have saved dallas time and time again.
Well Carnal Circus' new CD " Locker room Pimps" is clean hard-hitting and just what the Dr called for. This CD has 4 great tracks
1 "Roomate From Hell"

2 "Cockteaser"

 3 "Head kicked in"
  And my fav of them all
 
4" Sacrifice"

As for the band, Robin on drums has been a mainstay in Dallas now for 20 some odd years rockin' and groovin' hundreds of thousands of live music bars.  Robert on base is a master of his craft.  His musical tastes reach from gospel, folk, world beat, industrial, and the list goes on.  Robert handles his base with the same finesse as a juggler throwing flaming swords.  Paul on lead guitar and lead vocals really is a punk.  He was a punk 20 years ago.  He's still a punk today.  I don't know if Paul will ever grow up. His guitar playing in unabashed yet tactful.  I would say he's a cross between Keith Richards and Jimmy Hendrix.  And as far as his vocals he can out sing an 18 year old on cheese.  Paul's gruff and forceful voice emit well the songs from the past and the original tunes that the band does. Either way, Paul is in your face.   If you don't own this one, you need to go to track down a member of the band and threaten to flatten their tires if they don't sell you a copy of  Locker Room Pimps.
