Trashy Tuesday: The Bidons (Back to the Roost)

Welcome to another edition of Trashy Tuesday. This is the day where we live by the old classic rock axiom: “If it’s too loud, you’re too old!”

The Bidons is a band from Salerno, Italy, and this post makes me happy for two reasons. First, it’s Trashy Tuesday and in general that makes me happy. Secondly, I featured The Bidons back in October, 2012. That means I’ve been doing this long enough to have a second go-round with bands enjoy.

The band grabs my attention immediately with “Hell, Yeah!” This track opens with some furious drumming and a wonderfully fuzzy guitar riff. This is the sonic equivalent of someone greeting you by grabbing the front of your shirt and giving you a head butt that makes you see stars. (Hey, it beats being bored to death like with the crap that was celebrated at The Grammys.) This song in particular reminds me a lot of another garage revival band: Jarvis Humby.

The Bidons give me another reason to love what they do (trust me…they give me plenty of reasons) with the title track. Why? Because it features some great rock n roll harmonica, and I am a total sucker for rock n roll bands that use harmonica. It’s certainly something I would like to hear more of.

The Bidons fit the bill for Trashy Tuesday. This band makes loud, raw rock n roll that you’ll want to blast out your windows to drown out all the mediocre music all around you. Back to the Roost is available now on Bandcamp, and it will fit very well in your collection next to all the rest of your trashy rock n roll. That’s gonna do it for another edition of Trashy Tuesday. Until next time, you take it sleazy.
