WARNING: Repeated listening of Surefire Machine's self-titled album may lead you to drink whiskey, get your girlfriend pregnant and rebel against every aspect of society.

With their crunchy, grooving guitar riffs and songs about drugs, cars and hot leaded women, Surefire Machine is that perfect combination of punk and metal (back before people started putting a "NÜ" in front) with just a hint of southern twang.

 

Surefire Machine is a the kind of band you would bust out your leather jacket for a Saturday night at The Bovine.  There are a few minor misses on the album, but overall this CD is balls deep in the trenches of Rock N' Roll.  Standout tracks include "Papparazzie," "69 Nova" and "Hot Leaded Woman."  Anyone whose ever wondered what 80's metal and hard-rock would sound like with more emphasis on rock and less on hair products should definitely check this album out.
