The Loudmouths - Get Lit! (702, 1998)

Word of caution to all new-generation grits of Tidewater: This is not the crappy AOR, FM-99 band Loudmouth, which has become the darlings of Bay Area wimpsters Metallica. Despite being from the same location as the Masters Of Muppets, The Loudmouths have enough brain cells (albeit alcohol-soaked) to realize that the Ramones are not an Italian family living in Ocean View. Now a three-piece (unless they got a new guitar player since recording this album -- miss you, Jay!), Dulcinea, Beth and Pete continue their crunch on this second effort. "Fast Service," "Aim For The Head," "Go To Hell" and "Black Heart" deliver the goods (Rob Halford -- R.I.P.) like well-oiled skates fresh from doing laps with eight-wheeled competitors such as The Mud City Manglers and The Valentine Killers.
