The Radishes “ Strychnine” (Standoffishproductions, 2008)

not sure it's poison running through their veins

If you're going to be in a crazy Stooge-like punk band, you need attitude, noise and a guitarist called Scrote. Do the Radishes? Well, in the words of the incomparable Meatloaf, two out of three aint bad. This 4 track EP has proper metally rock noise and a guitarist whose parents named him in such a way he could only end up on the business end of a growelling guitar. Its the attitude that does seem quite right: they seem just a bit too nice and funny. Maybe that's ok though: this isn't my bag, but I can see some young boys going bad to the Radishes sound.
