Bang Bang floored it out of the Motor City with brash, well-respected punk rock heavy on both melody and speed. They’re one of those bands like The Bronx who could easily knock even the most bad-tempered rock ’n’ roll purist off his cherished barstool. Every song on this 2004 album is a greasy mess of strident chording and rousing scream-alongs that sound very angry but are tempered with a fierce desire for fun. If they’re the ultimate party crashers on “Hell Is Where the Party Is,” then they’re wrecking Tea Party havoc in “Remove Your God, from Our State.” “Loveless” might be the closest thing here to pop, but it ends up in a scream that outdoes any demon in a Japanese horror flick. Guitarists Scott Stimac and Nick Waters play like heroes, infusing the three-chord Marshall stack clang with noisy yet mellifluous single-note hooks, and drummer Jimmy Lucido manages to groove at stroke-inducing speeds. Although the band claim Guns N’ Roses as heroes, singer David Graw and the rest make Axl Rose and company sound like ’80s-era Elton John.
