5.0 out of 5 stars modern country just might survive., July 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hardcore Honkey Tonk (Audio CD)

i found out about SPEEDBUGGY while reading the fine magazine NO DEPRESSION. the new release, titled "hard core honkytonk" was a real surprise. most of the time, these new bands just miss the point but SPEEDBUGGY obviously comes from the real thing. i can hear it in the singer's twang. there were a couple songs that tried to reach the "alternative nation" crowd (why bother) but most of the record is red hot hard hittin' style country. wish these guys would tour, i guess they're from los angeles (?!?). this is a strong release and i would recommend it to you and yours.

This review is from: Hardcore Honkey Tonk (Audio CD)

Timbo, lead singer & guitarist, used to be known as Timothy Michael Gruse when he played with Sugartooth. Rumor also has it that he briefly did time with Evan Seinfeld's Biohazard. Not sure if that's true or not, but there you go. You're up-to-date on meaningless rock trivia.

So I was pretty surprised when Timbo resurfaced with this outfit, Speedbuggy, & titled the first record "Hardcore Honky Tonk." "We're Talkin' Country...Son!" Not just country, but high-powered, meth-aided country. This record could not have had a better title. 10 blistering, alcohol-fueled cow punk treasures. Take all your favorite old-school country heroes, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, etc., shoot 'em full of steroids and Speedbuggy is what you'd get. Fans of punk, metal, rawk, alternative rock & country will all love what this Los Angeles-based band has unleashed on the public. Fire up the BBQ, invite over your craziest friends, make a liquor run & crank this record all night long.
