Seņor Smoke
There are times when descriptive adjectives such as "dumb" are not meant in the least bit as negatives. In pop music, these tend to be some of the best times you can have, of course: big, dumb, fun times. Throwing garage rock, metal, and new wave riffs together with disco beats and ironic lyrics, the Detroit-based Electric 6 made a pretty big splash with incredibly stupid and fun songs such as "Gay Bar" and "Danger! High Voltage." Nothing on here quite hits with the force of those hits, and the cover of Queen's "Radio Ga Ga" is so obvious it misses the mark entirely. But by no means have this act gotten serious or boring: like Urge Overkill before them, E6 know incredibly well how to have rock & roll fun with tongue planted firmly in cheek. If you do as well, you could do far worse than Seņor Smoke. --Mike McGonigal
