Dead World Crust From the Open Road

Sometimes a cool name is enough. And Neutron Rats is a really good name, one that makes easy prey out of movie geeks like myself who enjoy slapping metal soundtracks over terrible old sci-fi. If The Goonies had been conceived and directed by George Miller (he of Mad Max fame and yes you should be very excited for the new one) it would’ve been called The Neutron Rats and followed the tetanus-rich adventures of a gaggle of angry little post-apocalyptic gradeschoolers as they looked for a severed head to use in their ruined society’s version of basketball.

This is ugly, clattering, wasteland crust that snubs black metal in favor of punk’s more belligerent tones. It’s fast, with squealing guitars and drums that always feel one beat sideways, but far from incomprehensible and the bass is so thick and noxious all the plants in your house will die. Enjoy!
