Just For The Hell Of It
Century Media Records
New Century Media signings All Boro Kings is an amalgamation of members from Dog Eat Dog (Sean Kilkenny-guitars and vocals and Dave Neabore-bass and vocals) and Mucky Pup (Dan Nastasi-guitar and vocals, Dave Neabore and Sean Kilkenny). Their old friend John Milnes completes the line up on drums.
So with the line up and background, you pretty know what to expect from this release. Funk / punk / party rock is the call of the day, and All Boro Kings think they have the tunes and the rhymes to keep the party going.
While I’d be hard pressed to pick a stand out cut on the album (Yes, they’re that hard to find), there are some noticeable guest appearances on the album. Dog Eat Dog vocalist John Conner appears on ‘Blowin’ Smoke’, while Murphy’s Law vocalist Jimmy Gestapo does his thing on ’12 Pack’ (A piss take of the classic Black Flag number). Ex-Anthrax guitarist Paul Crook teams up with Dog Eat Dog saxophonist Scott Mueller on ‘Broke, Drunk’.
The album is quite short at just beyond the half an hour mark, but it really fails to deliver anything new throughout proceedings. I would really only suggest putting this on at a party where no one seems to take any notice of what’s playing anyway. After some highly consistent albums being released by Century Media in recent times, I think we can forgive them for this little slip up.
