Elmer

Songsof Sin and Retribution

No Idea/Very Small

The idea of hick punk is not really new, but Elmer seems to make it sound as fresh as a steamin’ pile of manure. There are several ways to describe this, so here’s a couple: McRackins trying to sound like the Reverend Horton Heat. Someone put something in Johnny Cash’s coffee. The Ramones’ Nashville Sessions. Any way you slice it, it’s chock fulla country goodness. No Idea Fanzines & Records, P.O. Box 14636, Gainesville, FL 32604; noidea@freenet.ufl.edu
