The Crazy Ivans “Go Back to Russia, Sucka!”

It’s an EP. The songs have a lot of energy for the most part, like L7 or Tilt. But the songs are long. They move along just fine, but they are longer than you would expect.

“Frequency” rips along at a good pace. It’s not frenetic; it’s very controlled. But it does what it needs to. “Still Waters” has a movie soundtrack feel to it. You would hear it when the kids missed the last train to the suburbs and are scrambling around trying to figure out how the hell they’re going to get home.

“Can’t Go Home” slows it down. This is the get-the-lighter-out song. It’s fine, but these bands always do slow songs because they feel compelled to. There’s no real point. They rock, which not every band can do, so they really ought to just stick with that. “Wail of the Banshee” speeds it up again, although they sound a little bored here.

“Six Feet Above the Sheets” is the last track and the best. There is actual melody and some real fun guitars. This really makes me want to tear shit up. Me! Really!
