Llama Farmers
Beggars Banquet
In the tradition of rock-happy
teenagers (and teenagers-at-heart)
everywhere, the Llama Farmers
present albums full of precise pop hooks
and punk rock energy. "Get the Keys and
Go," from their 1999 debut, Dead
Letter Chorus, perfectly captures
the feeling of bouncing up and down in
the mosh pit, losing twenty pounds in
sweat, and not caring about anything.
The song's infectious, exuberant melody
and boundless enthusiasm will sneak down
into your subconscious and stay there
until you listen to the song again. And
again... Hey, turn it up!
That pretty much sums up the Llama
Farmers experience: big rock, big
hooks, big noise. The London band's 2001
follow-up, El Toppo (featuring
the great Brit-pop-meets-alt-rock anthem
"Snow White"), follows in just that
vein, offering plenty of memorable
melodies and endless amounts of sheer
noise. Fans of Noise Addict's
carefree yet crunchy pop or Ned's Atomic Dustbin'sguitar-driven
anthems should take note: you won't be
able to sit still while you listen to
this wall of sound!
