Thoughts:  I wrote a very short review of these weirdos a few years ago when they were coming to Sound on Sound Fest.  At that time, they had nothing available on Spotify, luckily for all of us, since then, they've joined the modern age and you can now hear the glories of "Leather daddy" anytime.
"WIPE MY ASS WITH YOUR [SOMETHING] LEATHER JACKET! ...  EAT ME OUT!  BUY ME SHOES!  MAKE ME CUM!  AND THEN PLEASE LEAVE!"  I mean, hell yeah.  Not something I can play for the kids or anything, but if you want some 50's surf rock vibe with filthy lyrics, you've come to the right place.  Only 9,184 streams on Spotify, so the world has yet to catch up to that particular place to be.  No other song has more than half of that.

The music is a little like a garage band trying to recreate the Monkees tunes with filthy new lyrics through a shredded amp.  The lyrics seem to involve sexual byproducts pretty frequently - the above-referenced cum, "YDC" chorus about being "young, dumb, and full of cum," or "White Male Meltdown"'s repeated chanting of "its coming!" as they drone the song title.  They also have a song that just says different names for breasts.  The entirety of the lyrics is "boobies, knockers, mounds, and tits!" repeated.  And a song simply called "Gimme That Sex."  Or one about the "FUPA" and getting down with it.

After the shock value and humor of the ridiculously filthy and weird lyrics, this is pretty crappy music.  May be fun to see live, just because they seem fully raw and here to have fun.  I don't know.  Here's one more, just in case you need some more.  Here is "Butts."
I mean, the whole thing may just be a big joke?  Right?  Like they jokingly made a band and said they'd be as bad and weird as possible and see if people still came to shows, and then when that happened, they were as surprised as anyone and went with it?  In this interview though, they explain that they are very serious.  I don't think I'll be at this show.
