Permanent Teeth Records – 2023
Rock, Metal, Punk
Rated: ***

Holy hell and hellah fun! It’s the new Big Dumb Riffs album by Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol! And they go berserk on them dumb riffs from the very first second. In fact, they talk about only wanting to fill the album with those stand out parts from other songs, you know, your favorite rise from a certain song, your favorite riff from another, the best break you ever heard. Etc etc. They mention Primus and Pantera while talking about that, and those names aren’t mentioned for nothing. It does turn into a bit of nu-metal because of that Primus break, and Pantera riffage, but even that as it turns out, is pure fun. Not every song is as infectious as the next, but opener Clowntown immediately slays with is chainsaw riff, following 1-800-EAT-SHIT is just freakishly delicious. The lyrics fun, that gatling gun riff, bouncing drums. You could have this on repeat! Another absolute winner is Bastard Initiated, furious, powerful and fast paced! And hey, the entire record is chock full of Big Dumb Riffs, energy and fun. And lasts only 21 minutes…
