VEE DEE - Public Mental Health System

"Heavy times call for a heavy soundtrack, and thats what Chicagos VEE DEE has accomplished with their new double album Public Mental Health System. This record blurs the lines between garage, punk and psychedelia; it is the sound of desperate, no-compromise rock n roll of the past being absorbed and then re-interpreted for NOW. Short fast dark garage punk segues into heavy riffing and guitar freak-outs. Moody folk chords bang up against frantic fuzz turnarounds. Over it all, lyrics of abstract yet direct poetry are hollered and crooned, aided by well-placed backing vocals. - Heavy times call for a heavy soundtrack, and thats what Chicagos VEE DEE has accomplished with their new double album Public Mental Health System.
