Die Hunns - You Rot Me

“Super-group” normally calls to mind over-inflated ego projects featuring Ted Nugent and that guy from Styx who can hit the high D in “Lady”. Die Hunns, with their newest record You Rot Me, tries to buck that image with an album full of punk rock braggadocio and genre-bending rock and roll. Featuring members of US Bombs, the Circle Jerks and Nashville Pussy, Die Hunns has become a swaggering tour of the American rock and roll landscape from the '60s to now, with punk rock attitude, rock riffing and R&B soul. Duane Peters and his aggravated snarl share vocalist duties with his wife Corey Parker mixing and (occasionally) matching through songs like “Mad Society” and “47th Street”. To prove to you they haven’t forgotten what brought him here, Peters also included in the album’s best song (“Rock N Roll Boulevard”) the line “I’m a retard/I’m a retard/why did it have to be so hard”. True wisdom. [www.diehunns.com]
