Cheetah Chrome ... what to say at this point of this wild beast? You just have to let yourself be caught by the first Dead Boys album to see the importance of their guitar, undoubtedly one of the wildest, rawest and most unbridled in American punk rock and roll. We can also go back a few years and there we find him, hairy and with his usual angry face, forming part of the seminal Rocket From The Tombs (that was real proto punk!). After the stampede of the Dead Boys, a more than dark time would come but since we are not here to count old battles, let's jump to 2015, the year in which a spanish tour is announced accompanied by Señor No, a band that joins him as if they had been playing together for decades. Good proof of this are the two tracks collected here on b side , Dead Boys classics recorded at Mardi Gras venue in A Coruña with an ambient mic and without cheating or cardboard, killer rock at its finest. The a face, recorded at the Garate studio with Kaki Arkarazo the afternoon before catching the plane back home, is a fantastic version of the Flamin 'Groovies. All in a limited edition of 437 copies and a gatefold folder.
