It’s Only (Feral) Rock n’ Roll, But I Like It (1980)
South Of The Dial: #7

No-hit wonders Vardis led by the beastial Steve Zodiac never had a hit. Never had a record you’ve heard of. Never even get “likes” on YouTube. They are virtual unknowns. BUT, somehow they kept coming up. As I researched the NWOBHM, I kept getting pushed in their direction. I was itching to move on, too. I mean how much time can you spend writing about one fucking year – 1980 -, right?

Well, brothers & sisters, am I glad I listened to the cries and cued this baby up. For it is unquestionably one of the best LIVE albums I’ve ever heard. Raw power to the max. MC5 testimonial spliced with Ted Nugent 70s hard rock guitar prowess. Kick Out The Jams meets Double Live Gonzo!. If you’re a fan of 70s live rock n’ roll albums, this baby is a must!

So why Mother Of God does no one know of this immaculate platter of electrified goodness? Because they didn’t fit in. They were born a tad too late. Despite the genre tag. Despite where they lived and who they played with. They are NOT NWOBHM! They are not even metal, really. This is rock n’ roll. Slutty, sweaty, scintillating rock n’ roll one degree removed from England’s Pub Rock scene of the mid 70s that brought us Dr. Feelgood (who I will be writing about soon enough) and Eddie & The Hot Rods. It’s a wee bit harder than them, but damn if they aren’t their children. Just look at those ugly mugs!
