Super Adventure Club – Straight From The Dick

Album Review by Chris Buckle | 26 Nov 2013
Album title: Straight From The Dick
Artist: Super Adventure Club
Label: Armellodie
Release date: 2 Dec

On their previous album, Super Adventure Club recommended avoiding zombies; now, alas, they’ve become one, with Straight From The Dick arriving posthumously following the trio’s decision to separate earlier in the year. But like a late reel hand grab from the grave, their third album delivers one final (and wholly enjoyable) shock to the system, ensuring that, should the hiatus prove definite, their twisted noise will be sorely missed.

Opener Hablo Espanol establishes the record’s manic tone, with contorted riffs and barked lines about incendiary breeks establishing SAC’s canny combo of daft lyrics, intricate guitar work and unpredictable rhythms. Few bands embrace their silly side to such a delirious degree; fewer still retain the glint of danger found in invigorating highlights like Dog with Two Dicks, which makes SAC’s demise all the more unfortunate. But there’s enough mirth and mayhem here to feed all relevant appetites, ensuring they bow out on a suitably adventurous high. [Chris Buckle]
