Turbonegro – Small Feces vol. 1 & 2


All hail Turbonegro! The gayest rock n roll band in the world is back. Not with a new album but with a collection of all their rarities and covers that already appeared in 2005. It sold out then and so now it’s re-released in a limited edition of 5000. After which they can always repackage it again and drop another ‘limited edition’.
It’s a pretty cool selection of 42 songs though, all recorded between 1989 and 1997. There are live recordings, old recordings and a shitload of covers from acts such as Black Flag, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Stooges, MC5 and a band called Anal Babes. All of them have in common that they rock and that they still rock (or rock even harder) after having been given the Turbonegro deathpunk treatment.
There’s plenty of liner notes to read as well which among others feature the story of how one record label owner almost started to cry when he heard the mindless rambling of Hank on “Kaerlighetens Born”. The sound quality is kinda shaky at times but what else to expect of a bunch of drunk denim-clad Vikings that like to record a lot of stuff in between circle jerks. Which leaves me with just one question… should I or should I not sing along to “I Got Erection” while surrounded by my co-workers?
Score: 7 out of 10
