As a great-grandchild of Slovakian immigrants, I'm always pleased to encounter bands from the mother country. While the band name Nazi Tampons might have you thinking, "What the fuck?", the band itself has absolutely floored me with its raw and hyper-spirited brand of old school garage punk. The group's new EP, Moon Invasion, powers through six tracks of blistering ferocity that falls somewhere between '90s budget trash and late '70s/early '80s fast-and-furious punk rock. This is music that will have you jumping around and shouting along like a maniac even as it kicks you straight in the teeth. You certainly can't question the enthusiasm and pure power that these individuals put into these songs. And every single one of these tunes absolutely rips. I'm reminded of bands like The No-Talents and The Loudmouths from back in the day — and who can deny that we need more of that kind of energy in today's punk rock? The Nashville-based tape label Knuckles on Stun has given Moon Invasion a limited-edition cassette release. And when I say "limited," I mean you better move fast! If you long for the good old days when punk music was dangerous and disreputable, you've just met your new favorite band!
