NEIL SMITH - Rotten Roll EP 1994

"Wrowdy Music For Wrowdy People!" so Neil himself describes his music and Yes, we're pretty wrowdy. I use here a few words from his site: "Neil grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana and had his first experience with music at the age of 8 when he took up saxophone in school because it was the only instrument they offered which was also played by SHA NA NA (Neil's favorite band!). By the age of 10, Neil discovered the guitar and just immersed himself in it teaching himself from books and a few formal lessons, but mostly by ear from his collection of rock'n'roll records. There wasn't much for a kid to do in Indianapolis besides find trouble (and Neil found a LOT of it!) so the guitar became his main outlet throughout his teenage years and he played in many garage bands during that time. In 1986 when Neil was 18 years old, he encountered a guitarist wanted ad on a wall at a local music store. The ad was from a Florida-based band called STEVIE STILETTO who were a punk and pop band with a few records out on an independent label. He met the band and stayed up all night learning their entire latest album, Neil quit his job flipping burgers at Hardee's, quit school, dumped his girlfriend, sold his car, moved away from home and was on the road with a crazy rock band! Neil continued touring and recording with Stevie Stiletto for five years when in 1991 the band finally imploded in Lubbock, Texas. Neil then began releasing his own records and CDs and today he mainly plays country music." So enjoy this little record with four weird-deep-kickin'-ass-punk'n'roll numbers in its most extreme kind.
