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
