Femme no wavers Period Bomb return on the A half of
a split with Rosé Perez, NOT
Rosie Perez, as I was convinced of at first, but then was set straight because
Rosie Perez is almost assuredly NOT into splatters of free punk anarchy. ROSÉ Perez on the other hand is – well, they
like Period Bomb’s version of it anyway. Despite the fact that they’re a little
more on the new than the no wave side. It all comes out in the wash.
Period Bomb’s side features daggers of guitar over
mutilated rhythms, with spoken/shrieked/sung vocals intoning vagaries about
sexy cowboys and, um, cuntroll [sic]
freaks. The vaginal subject matter is not out of the ordinary for the group,
and it’s a liberative tool that becomes a weapon when paired with the blasted
tunes. Rosé Perez is a
kindred spirit, with songs spoken in a valley girl accent while the Gits meet
the Go-Go’s in the studio. These combined telecosmic powers subvert societal
norms like lawnmowers wielded as weapons would “subvert” the patriarchal
hierarchy. Sounds like the plot of a movie waiting to happen.
