If you thought Amy Fisher was
the only thing Long Island was notorious for,
you're wrong. Sea Monster have been entertaining
jaded New Yorkers since 1986 with their unique and
uncompromising brand of blue collar, B-movie punk,
with songs about politics, work, sex, motorcycles,
movies and the military, all performed with
scathingly sarcastic panache. "Steve Reevis"
[sic} opens with a psychedelic wah-wah guitar
intro and pays tribute to deceased B-movie muscle
man ("When Steve Reeves sweats/He never takes a
shower/Steve Reeves strong, he'll lift the Eiffel
Tower/Steve Reeves brave, he'll carry on
forever/And Steve Reeves tool, man it's a talisman
of power!"). "The Beast" (a re-recorded version
that originally appeared on their previous release,
(Enduro
Bizarro Entacto)
it's a song about vocalist Arthur Stevenson's
genitalia (With lewd exception she started to
feast/We roared with laughter as she sucked off the
beast/ A one-eyed serpent, determined but blind/ A
primitive beast with a one-track mind!"). "The
World's Smallest Violin" is a bitingly sardonic
tune about people on poor-poor- pitiful-me trips.
"Barbeque At Phil's" is the ultimate party song,
and Sea Monster are the ultimate party band. Play
this disc at you next beer bash and let the good
times roll!
