Music To Get Shit-Faced To!
by Steve Newton
...You know that cool rock noise that occurs when a skilled guitarist with a loud amp runs a pick sideways along the neck of his instrument?. Well, Royal Grand Prix guitarist Rocky Romoli creates that lovely racket most effectively on "Well Oiled Machine", the first tune on the band's 'High Performance'. That choice snippet of raunch-rock dynamics is inserted directly after an Ace Frehley-type solo, and sets the stage for 15 tracks that blend the vocal banter of the Beastie Boys, the machine-gun rhythms of the Ramones, and the catchy melodies of Urge Overkill. Lyrically, the group makes rowdy fun of everyone from Doukhobors to cover bands to foulmouthed girlfriends to squeegee people...
The Georgia Straight
One the best live acts on the West Coast
by Denise Sheppard
...There's no denying it, this band is obsessed. The RGP are four boys made up of two things - gasoline and testosterone. Pierce them and are they not flammable? Oh yeah, baby. Chords coming from their amps that sound like engine revs, song tiles like "Well Oiled Machines", "Full Service" and their live classic "Squeegee Boy" make their intentions crystal clear. But enough about their hot rod fixation: the bigger question is does the music hold up? Hell, yeah! High Performance is track after track of stomp-along punk rock fun...

There's no posing here, just heavy, riff-oriented rock
by William Peyton
...These B.C. boys like their punk thick, crunchy and a little bit silly (see "Scabies," "Damned Cover Band" and "Squeegee Boy" for starters). There's no posing here, just heavy, riff-oriented rock that manages to combine punk's nasty edge with a sort of metallic rockabilly and enough hooks to catch a carp. A perfect party disc....

| DRIVING TIPS: Turn Signals |
 Listen up! What seems to be the problem with all you toe heads out there? It's like no one actually thinks about what they're doing....it's common f*@!ing sense! Repeat after me. TURN..... turn..... SIGNAL...... signal..... That's right. So does anyone know what that means...... anyone..... anyone. That's right, it is a signal to OTHERS that you are THINKING about turning. Contrary to popular belief, the signal light does not actually make the car turn.... let me explain.... I may be going too fast for some of you motor pool drop outs.
The other day I'm being driven to the airport. This gal is driving and wants to get into the left hand lane to pass.....she keeps looking nervously into her side view mirror.... then into her rear view mirror.... then back to the side view..... then she says, "This jerk isn't going to let me in!".... I say, "Is your signal light on, 'cause I doubt this guy is telepathetic like you!" She looks at me like I just shit on her lap. Oh well, no more sex from her. LADIES and GENTLEMEN here is the proper procedure to using your signal lights:
It seems so simple yet it also seems to be beyond some peoples' comprehension... The other big signal light NO NO comes from that self absorbed bastard who is stopped at a red light in the left hand lane and when the light turns green this pinhead turns on his left turn signal...there is only one way to deal with this kind of selfish prick but unfortunately our society looks down on putting the damaged out of their misery. I'm tellin' ya....it's time to stop recycling this kind of waste! So just remember this little song...... This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine Let it shine let it shine let it shine If you ain't pickin' up what I'ma puttin' down then get the hell offa my roads!!!!! by rosie romoli |
