Erotic Devices - This World Is Not For Kids


On their third full-length album, Berlin's Erotic Devices take an "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" approach to their tried-and-true '77 style pop-punk sound. Out on Wanda Records, This World Is Not For Kids dishes out 14 tracks of sing-along three-chord punk rock all running under three minutes. Opening track "I Want More" tells you exactly what to expect from the rest of the album. And chances are that once you hear the song, you will want more. I sure did! All these songs are fun, catchy, and played with maximum gusto. These guys don't take themselves too seriously, but they are seriously good at writing simple punk rock songs in the timeless style. Thank goodness that Wanda Records is still around to fill the world with music like this. If the Ramones, Lurkers, Boys, and Dickies are staples of your record collection, Erotic Devices are a band you're likely to enjoy. Be careful Googling that band name.
