Gay For Johnny Depp - The Politics Of Cruelty
As everyone knows, certain music just fits certain situations. Barry White, say, for that romantic evening in, or perhaps some Nirvana for that class of ’91 reunion bash. Likewise, Gay For Johnny Depp’s ‘The Politics Of Cruelty’ is the perfect soundtrack for that moment when you find yourself suspended from the ceiling in a crocodile-skin harness, a pool ball strapped in your gub, while a leather-clad trucker juggles a hamster dripping with baby oil. Yes, this NY mob put the hardcore into, er, hardcore, conjuring up a sound seedier than Alan Titchmarsh’s dungaree pockets. Filthy guitars slip and slide over the rhythm section’s hip-thrusting grooves on twelve staccato bursts of manly fun with titles like ‘Cumpassion’ and ‘Point The Finger (Juicy’s Last Dollar)’, while frontperv Marty Leopard croons “I love to watch you bleed”. Just zip up that gimp mask and enjoy the ride, kids. The safety word is ‘banana’.
