From a scuzzed up suburban B-movie trash nightmare return
the Texan saviors, Mean Motor Scooter, follow up their debut album with yet
another blast of sonic organ garage punk to soundtrack the crazy world we’re
living in. Chock full of their trademark spikey punk rhythms and choppy guitars
that flit and fly over that spacecraft organ sound, while the vocals leap out
in sputs and yelps, their new EP is further proof that the band are harnessing
their inner-aliens to full effect. They’re spinning in a multiverse of their
own making and waiting for you to meet them in a galaxy far away.
Sammy Kidd, guitarist and chief songwriter of the band
expands on the new EP: “The songs on Mr. Sophistication tell their own stories
but are all connected by a common thread. Part of being a human to me is
constantly making decisions that affect the people we love around us as well as
ourselves. We are all just as capable of doing amazing things as we are of doing
completely heinous things; yet even with the best intentions, sometimes there
is simply no right answer. Being human, we also constantly crave to fulfill our
desires. Constantly trying to fill the void, while exhausting and terrifying,
is a necessary part of existence. There is a certain kind of beauty to personal
suffering when it provides growth”.
