Some of you Nawfuckians and other fuckfaces in general out there with muy bueno taste should be aware of Head Hound Sambone Rock 'N' Roll Motherfucker from his stint in Big Bobby And The Nightcaps. An excellent hybrid of The Pretty Things and The Real Kids, the 'Caps kept my pitcher pouring in at least five venues that are now defunct. Reassuming the role as a guitar great, Sam has added lead vocals to his repertoire in the 'Hounds. Along with bassist Josh and drummer Ash (who once was behind the kit for Buzz-Oven, if you can belee that), the band's three cuts here offer the controlled power of Radio Birdman, the sleaziness of The Devil Dogs (Steve Baise produced this slab), and the spare-change riffing of John E. Thunders. "The Ex-Sex Thing (Is The Next Best Thing)" is, in the words of Sambone, "about fucking your ex-girlfriend." "Oh Yeah" couldbe an invitation of sorts, but "No Time For You" is certainly RSVP for stay the hell away. Rod Stewart once sang his thoughts concerning mornings; The Horehounds wake up to a similar alarm clock.
