Throw Rag Discography of CDs

Throw Rag albums Following the more straightforward punk throwback sound of Throw Rag's third album, 2005's 13 Ft. and Rising, 2nd Place is both much better and more in keeping with the California desert boys' eclectic earlier work. Cramps-like psychobilly, surf-twang guitar in the manner of X's Billy Zoom, old-fashioned cowpunk, even a hint of dramatic mariachi rock à la Calexico and their ilk, all are here, and all sound pretty great. Able to switch from the minor-key mood piece "Vive e Lascie Morire" to the rollicking "Stomp" to the freaky tape-edit experimentation of the psychedelic "D.H.S.," Throw Rag are unafraid to experiment, although not everything pays off. The drunk-sounding spoken word improv of "Johnny Big Nuts" was clearly much more fun to record than it is to listen to. On the other hand, you can't go wrong with an old-fashioned pop-punk tune called "Don't Be Afraid to Pogo," and should that song also feature an old-country Gypsy violin solo, so much the better. ~ Stewart Mason 2nd Place?

Throw Rag songs Throw Rag's approach to punk rock is refreshing and yet still time-honored. "Space Hump Me" has a lot of early-'70s punk in it, particularly with the sneering vocals and simple arrangement such as the Damned. Lead singer Captain Sean-Doe never lets loose as the song is wild but still quite tight, much like "Hollywood," which appears later. "Hang Up" continues the party rock atmosphere as more guitars are brought to the fore. However, they mix rockabilly and punk beautifully, especially on "Rule Maker," a tune that ...
