In 2001, Rock n Roll Kamikaze had the bad luck of being issued by Junk Records just as the Huntington Beach indie was closing its doors. Factor in a tour aborted by the events of 9/11, and the LP became one more chunk of bad luck for these hardworking San Diego garage punks. However, the relationship the Dragons established with Gearhead in 2003 has once again borne fruit, with the label's reissue of this expanded and remastered edition of Rock n Roll Kamikaze. Fans of Sin Salvation, the band's searing Gearhead debut -- or anyone familiar with their live show, which features many of these cuts -- should swallow this kamikaze like the stinging rock & roll shot that it is. Overdriven gutter guitar, Mario Escovedo's gritty slurs, and a rhythm section that sounds like an R-rated '50s sock hop -- it's all here, buffed and polished and primed as barbecue music. Highlights include the Social Distortion-style tumble of "C'mon," "Like It's a Bad Thing"'s raucous melodics ("My [unintelligible] said that I'm a star and I believe it/I like to drink a lot but that's all right...."), and "Greyhound," which crosses punk with vintage, glammy hard rock for the album's most fully realized moment. Kamikaze's five bonus tracks date from the album's original recording session. They're all strong, following the Dragons' pattern of propulsive rhythms colored by Escovedo's sun-damaged shriek and the ragged guitar leads of Ken Mochikoshi. "Take It All Out on Me" and the amplified Nuggets moment "Breakdown" are both major standouts. ~ Johnny Loftus
The Dragons: Mario Escovedo (vocals, guitar); Ken Mochikoshi Horne (guitar); Steve Rodriguez (bass guitar); Jarrod Lucas (drums).

Rock N Roll Kamikaze songs
$8.99 
On his third outing, guitarist and producer Gurf Morlix shifts gears with a cranking clatter. While his previous recordings were saturated with loud and greasy guitars and killer bluesy riffs that provided enough good vibes to start-or end a party, this set is markedly different; it's a solid country record, stripped to the rag and bone shop of the heart, and full of broken love songs. And though the subject matter is on the low-down side of lonesome, the musical groove is prescribed as pure honky tonk pain management. Morlix, who wrote or co-wrote all but one song here, plays everything but drums on this set; that's left to the great Rick Richards. The 13 songs here reflect the timelessness of a relationship and in Morlix's lyrics one thing becomes painfully clear: when it comes to men and women, there is nothing new under the sun. "Yesterday She Didn't," speaks in its Western swing drawl to the inconsistency of a lover who bounces both sides of the emotional fence in regard to the protagonist. Loping, acoustic guitars stroll out the tough tale, but the singer seems to accept that this is just the way it is -- his feelings remain the same. "Were You Lyin' Down?" Its answer line "when you stood me up" is self explanatory, but in the ringing Telecasters and two-stepping bass, it becomes a country & western dance tune à la Buck Owens. The singer may be brokenhearted, but he might as well strut his way through the pain on the barroom floor. In the jukebox honky tonk of "Without ...
