This is music made by dudes who are just as comfortable under the hood of a classic Chevy as they are in front of an amp. Dragstrip Riot’s songs are pure high-octane rock n’ roll, like Bo Diddley backed by Social Distortion. Their most recent recording was produced by Jack Endino, a guy who knows a thing or two about producing loud bands. The result is a greasy, drag-race of an album, one that will make you think you’ve spilled cigarettes and gasoline in your CD player. And live, they have the capacity to burn your face. -Seattle Weekly
