Review

Comic, smart, sarcastic, social-satire punk is a lost art, but it's one well recalled by these San Franciscans. Whether chronicling the loser day of a patently pathetic crack abuser (set to a beat recalling the Dead Kennedys, former famous Frisco purveyors of this genre) on "Pepito," or complaining about cabbies (with overt overstatement) on "Taxi Drivers," or heaping aspersion on motorcycle maniacs on "Ain't No Stranger to Pain" (these two use more classic 1977 riffs and tempos), Bula Matari beats one silly like those other nutty, funny, and spirited late-'70s precedents Albertos y los Trios Paranoias, the Lewd, Legionnaire's Disease, and the Bags. Listeners could use more like them. ~ Jack Rabid, Rovi
