Following last year's Makeout Mountain, the distorted bass riff that kicks off illiterates’ Goddamn Gun-Toting Junkie Camaro Enthusiasts transports listeners to a dystopian wasteland of the band’s own creation—a place where cult leaders, muscle cars, and frantic, overdriven guitars commingle in an unholy union that’s equal parts Richard Hell and Jim Jones. Channeling ‘80s & 90s punk and classic garage rock, the L.A./ATL-based quartet create scuzzy rock & roll anthems that both sonically and lyrically channel the delightful lo-fi morbidity of old grindhouse B-movies.
For anyone who finds themselves lacking their daily recommended dose of adrenaline-fueled, high-energy punk rock, illiterates have the panacea. “We just want to hit that primal part of your brain that’s all id,” says singer Steve Albertson. “Just sex, drugs, violence, viscera, energy,” guitarist Steve Labate adds, “Maybe it’s a bit of escapism, but we want to let people live out that fantasy of what rock & roll was when you were a kid.”
"Focused, angry and thrashing... explosive energy with even more fuzz and garage influences... channeling a Ramones-like wrath." - Paste
"Hard, fast and loud... If you dig bands like Dead Kennedys, Jay Reatard, MC5, Oh Sees and DEVO — you’ll love illiterates." - Grimy Goods
"Traverses the spectrum from glittery, acid-drenched bubblegum love ballads to whimsical blasts of frantic, overdriven rock & roll." - New Noise Magazine...more
