Nanny State by Bobby Bonzig
Nanny State is the second album by Los Angeles rocker Bobby Bonzig. The album is drenched in distortion and aggression but maintains a playful tounge in cheek attitude. Bobby percolates between blazing fast punk songs about the dangers of the Nanny State and a reimagined take on California Uber Alles, and slow heavy sludgy songs fit for a Doom Metal band like I-70 Ice Trucker and Water Stealer. The nine tracks are thoughtfully crafted and feature robust harmonies, overdriven guitar solos and an occasional keyboard lick. Bobby pays homage to his wide variety of influences the Dead Kennedys and Bloc Party on the record, re-arranging songs by both. The album has a high level of musicality with tight changes, odd time signatures, polyrhythms and uptempo precision. Bobby’s music teacher would have been proud. Fans of Cave In, Black Sabbath, Mutoid Man, Faith No More and Alien Ant Farm will enjoy Nanny State. After all, we know what’s best for you…
