THE WHITE BARONS
"Up All Night with the White Barons" (Gearhead; 2007)
Reviewed by Mike SOS
Featuring the ubiquitous Miss Eva Von Slut on vocals, this quartet play a more prevalent version of gutter punk sprinkled with hard rock on the 11-track "Up All Night with the White Barons."
With Eva's lungs easily rivaling any punk rock dude's pipes and a badass back-up band that can lapse into any permutation of Misfits, The Bronx, AFI, Hookers, and Motorhead at a moment's notice, this Bay Area outfit have put forth a high-octane barn burner of an album for the punk rock house party to kick into third gear with raucous cuts like "Mercy, Mercy," "Reckless," and "Never Enough" leading the charge.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
