Hit By A Semi, one of Chico's hardest working and longest-standing punk rock
bands (some of them used to be in Beanfight), is about to drop their first
full-length CD, which stands among the best punk rock CDs from a local
band to come out in some time. Of course, as it should be with any punk
album, it's the music that is the strength here - a good blend of Orange
County-style vocals (slightly nasal, backed by deep call-and-response-style
shouts), crunchy, old-school guitar hooks as well as catchy new-school
licks, and bass that can actually be felt - rather than an outlandish
look, behavior or some other kind of cheesy schtick to make people pay
attention. The songs, though not pop-y in the slightest, reach out and
demand attention, goading listeners into singing along, and the rhythms
are conducive to moving. Be sure to be at Mr. Lucky on Saturday, May 12th
to pick up your copy - it's a must have for pun rock fans.
