5.0 out of 5 stars GET AT'EM!!, August 10, 1999

If you're PC and you know it, stay at home - The Macc Lads ain't for you! However, if rancid, seedy tales of ale-supping, crack-chasing, grease-stopping and punk-rocking sound like your cup of bile, step right on up!! "Beer Sex Chips 'N' Gravy" is the ideal introduction to the deranged world of Muttley McLad and his band of sweaty perverts. Random abuse, pointless spite, rank ignorance, unbelievable hilarity and THE MOST STORMING PUNK ROCK YOU'LL EVER HEAR!!! BUY THIS CD!!!

This review is from: Beer & Sex & Chips N Gravy / Bitter Fit Crak (Audio CD)

These albums sound great remastered. The only problem I have is that Anagram decided to tone down the liner notes and change some of the words. I guess they have to try and appeal to the limpwristed lefty punk crowd who might happen to buy this. If you are an easily offended, PC college opinionated nerd punk, then you might wanna just stick with your Leftover Crack or Anti-Flag or silly Business or Cocksparrer "streetpunk". The Macc Lads are not for you. Go back to your cardboard box in front of your parents mansion with your $2000 laptop and pretend like you are squatting...This music is for people with problems and it is great!!!!!!!!!!

This review is from: Beer Sex Chips & Gravy (Audio CD)

The Macc Lads are the self-proclaimed "lewdest band in all Christdom." Well, they may be lewd, rude, sexist, alcoholic sheep shaggers who are not very fond of Germans, Frenchmen, Scotts, and pretty much anyone outside of Macclesfield, but they can write about 20 good songs for each album that they made.

Every song on this album is a classic (of sorts): each song mentions alcohol; each song mentions finding some "crack"; each song makes disparaging comments toward ethnic groups and gays. The album is soaked with toilet humour, which is thankfully hilarious, partly thanks to the aformentioned humour being drenched in Northern English colloquialisms and inside jokes.

The Beater (the hypochondriac Pakistani guitarist) is not too bad of a guitarist and concocts a simple but memorable rift for each song and every now and then pulls out a little guitar solo. Stez Styx is not the best drummer, but apparently he bashes his fair share of poofs. And Mutley McLard is one of the most memorable vocalists in all of punk rock... apparently he was able to take a few beer bottles to his head and finish a show.

So what does this album teach you? Bitter ale makes you a success with girls. Halves of lager is a foreign soda that only women and children should drink. London has no gravy at the chippy. Charlotte is the biggest slag in Macc. Anyone can shag Baggy Anne. Chips and gravy are amazing (this album actually inspired me to eat them and believe me, they are as amazing as the lads claim that they are).

Buy this album if you like songs about finding loose women and drinking beer. There is no innuendo in this album. It is all right out there and well, it's great.
