Heavy Psych Sounds give new life to the
Hot Lunch
self-titled debut masterpiece, originally released in 2013. Kicking off in prime, amped up
MC5
style with "Handy Denny" it's clear that Hot Lunch are out to grab you by the nuts like a pit bull and keep squeezing until this album has wrung you dry. Within the first two songs the band have ripped their way through more riffs that the first two
Black Sabbath
albums put together and there is no let up from here on in. "Ripped At The Seams" opts for a tight but loose
Blue Cheer
style grind with
Eric Shea
's manic vocal delivery evoking
John Garner
at his most deranged in the early days of
Sir Lord Baltimore
. Other bands that Hot Lunch tip their hats to through the course of these nine tracks, to varying degrees include the spastic blues of
The Groundhogs
, the theatrical intensity of
The Alice Cooper Band
, the raw, soulful blast of
Grand Funk Railroad
, the explosive crunch of
The Who
through to the trippy psychedelia of
The Doors
-- albeit without an incoherent drunken pub singer fronting them. It isn't all noise though. The epically lengthy "Lady Of The Lake" displays a level of tenderness with a lightly folky vibe, not too dissimilar to Sir Lord Baltimore's "Lake Isle Of Innisfree". The brief "She Wants More" blasts in a fog of boogie that makes Foghat look like
Barry Manilow
, Shea barely maintaining his breath and composure as he rages through the lyrics. "Tragedy Prevention", like many of its predecessors pitches from riff to riff with wild abandon and even features what sounds like a Vox Organ to paint extra sonic textures.
