FROM KILL!KILL!KILL! FOR THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL!
Southern California's THE MUTILATORS were probably the single most mysterious and intriguing act T-BONE and I had come across years ago when we were first starting up Kill! Kill! Kill! Every once in a while we would come across a small blurb, a dead link to a long abandoned website or a short sound clip, but we could never find any real info on who they were or how we could get a hold of a record.

FROM KILL!KILL!KILL! FOR THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL!
Southern California's THE MUTILATORS were probably the single most mysterious and intriguing act T-BONE and I had come across years ago when we were first starting up Kill! Kill! Kill! Every once in a while we would come across a small blurb, a dead link to a long abandoned website or a short sound clip, but we could never find any real info on who they were or how we could get a hold of a record. The brief clips we were able to scrounge up online wrecked hard and left us with a severe case of blue ears! We had almost completely lost hope until recently when front man Johnny Anal initiated long-anticipated contact to promote the release of their debut, Hot Rod Whore.
Hot Rod Whore features the grease-some threesome (Johnny A. up front on lead vox/guitar, John Freeze on upright and Don 'Othedead on skins) runnin' through 12 fast and wild hillbilly/punkabilly numbers guaranteed to melt yer hair AND yer girlfriend's heart all in one fell swoop - not that she was all that picky anyhow if she was wastin her time with a lowlife like you! These fella's do more with 3 chords than most bands playin hard rock covers of Johnny Cash songs and callin themselves "psychobilly" (you know who you are!) can do with an entire treble clef! Hot Rod Whore starts out with a supercharged cover of the seminal "Muleskinner Blues" and then gives the adrenaline treatment to some raw original rockabilly jumpers about skirt, rods and scum with titles like "Baby, Let's 666tynine", "Teenage Pussy", "No Cure" and the title track, "Hot Rod Whore", which even gets a separate western swing re-record fully outfitted with steel guitar and all to close things out. My personal favorite is "Gear Down Big Shifter", a sped up honky-tonker that don't quit, but there ain't a stinker on this platter period. If this is the first yer hearin about THE MUTILATORS you got a leg up on me 'cause you can get yer fill right off with Hot Rod Whore! Check 'em out today!
