Our Last Song </b> </font> <BR><br> Are THE RADIOACTIVE CHICKEN HEADS Growing Mold?<br> <i>By Mr. Romak, Live Magazine May 2005</i><p> For a band that "should've broke up in 1993", the Radioactive Chicken Heads have proven their importance in the music world once again with their latest full length record Growing Mold. Veterans of the theatrical rock scene, the Chicken Heads have been performing equipped with oversized piata-type poultry helmets and hard driven ska-rock sounds since the 90s (although at the time they sported the name Joe and the Chicken Heads.)<p> The record itself begins with Bag O Bones, a catchy and heart-warming tune about a blob of slime that collectively morphs into a sack of phalanges, femurs, etc. This is one that the whole family (especially if your family is insane) can enjoy.<p> Cartoonish, melodic songs are mixed in with somewhat experimental and eerie transitional pieces such as Waltzing on Eggshells and Archaeopteryx. What seems to stand out most from the rest of the album is actually its title track.<p> Growing Mold is a downbeat, almost sad sounding song with a country feel and some pretty slide guitar licks thrown in to keep it interesting. The chorus reads, Growing mold in my heart, growing mold in my brain, growing mold all around me. Its eating me away. Im sure we can all relate to this feeling (at least every now and then.)<p> This entertaining disk is wrapped up perfectly with what is probably my personal favorite track, fittingly entitled: Our Last Song. It regretfully sums up the career of the band, and refers to the Chicken Heads longevity as a big mistake. I definitely dont feel that way at all, and my strong opinion is that this underappreciated rock group should be thanked for making such creative music and being such great entertainers. Whether you like chicken or not, I have confidence that you will enjoy this album. Even if you lack the insight to appreciate its musical genius, then it at least makes a great party favor or novelty of sorts. The sound of the band itself can be compared to the Aquabats, as well as the Dead Kennedys. Be sure to pick it up!<p> </font> <p> Order for only $5.98 from <a href="http://www.joerockhead.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1061">joerockhead.com</a> <p><center> Also available for digital download at the <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playListId=58138205&originStoreFront=143441" >iTunes Music Store</a> </p></center> <BR><br> <p> <center><font size=2><a href="index.html">home</a> | <a href="photoalbums.html">pictures</a> | <a href="sounds.html">audio/video</a> | <a href="bio.html">prehistory</a> | <a href="articles.html">press</a>| <a href="words.html">lyrics</a> | <a href="discographycds.html">discography</a> | <a href="links.html">links</a></font> </center></B></BR> <BR><br> </HTML>
