| Description: | Filthy Friends is Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney), Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows), Kurt Bloch (The Fastbacks), and Bill Rieflin (King Crimson, Ministry).
Filthy Friends is the product of likeminded individuals with nothing to prove getting together and making a heroic racket together that finds space for their many influences and interests.
Lead singer Corin Tucker has left an indelible mark on the punk scene through her memberships in Sleater-Kinney and Heavens to Betsy. Guitarist Kurt Bloch has logged a lot of hours as the leader of The Fastbacks, as well as serving as a producer/mentor for up and coming Seattle Rock groups. Drummer Bill Rieflin has a fine day job as one of the drummers in King Crimson. Bassist Scott McCaughey keeps plenty busy doing studio work and mining the power pop underground with his long-running band the Young Fresh Fellows. As for the other guitarist Peter Buck...if youâ??re unfamiliar with him, you havenâ??t been paying attention to the alternative/college/indie rock.
The 12-song collection works through a flurry of different moods and styles, genre exercises and joyous experiments. The intricate guitar knots and blasts of bubblegum pop of Buckâ??s beloved 'Television' are all over the herky-jerky 'Windmill.' A mashup of â??60s downer vibes and rootsy rumblings makes up the marvelous 'Second Life' whereas 'Come Back Shelley' is all swagger and glitz in the style of a lost glam rock 45. There ainâ??t nothing this band canâ??t do with the wet clay of rock music and what they sculpt out of it is pure art.
