Big Neck (2022)
Bart and the Brats is a new venture from Bart De Vraantijk, known to some as being a member of bands like Wild Zeros and Teenage Hearts. Though if I'm being honest, I'm not particularly familiar with his work, though I have at least heard of those two bands. On this album, Bart is working solo, having recorded everything himself. But don't worry, this isn't an acoustic, singer-songwriter adventure. We've got the full complement of guitar/bass/drums at play.
This very much sounds like something that Ptrash would have put out in 2009 or so. Fast and catchy garage guitar riffage with snarling vocals. The simplicity of the Ramones with the energy of the Carbonas. It's much catchier than a lot of other records of this ilk, so it's connecting with me way more than most. I think if the vocals were a bit more melodic, I'd probably really dig it. As is, I think it's pretty solid and something worth checking out if you dig on these type of fast and furious sounds.
