UNDERGROUND A&R REPORT

TACK - PORN

Moving from a growling high performance stingray to a dirt grinding rack jobber, Tack are anything if they are the big riff and melodic overtone considered by most to be emblematic of Bowie, though embodying more sinister goth inspirations that aren't really punned, just a mere shadow eclipsing the light. While it's all good (the groovin' "Palewaters"), there is darkness lurking right around the corner ("The Well" & "Porn"). It's been rumored Axl wishes he could write numbers that would combine what is and what could be ("Screw"), but alas his grade does not par up here, Ferguson and team have beat him to the punch. Tack throw the funk when needed ("Crackpipe"), and show no fear in calling upon the ghost of Jimi (title cut) to inject the plunger if need be. Then you have stuff like "Catman", which is just all over you, from the minute the nickers sweep the floor. All right pretty much any time of the day. All you need are cigarettes, beer, lube, and a clean towel. Contact: http://myspace.com/tackband
