Party Fever!!!

Tuscon’s Okmoniks are the slightly more respectable sibling of Nobunny (they share musical demolitionist Justin Chamblin, the masked man behind Nobunny and wildman drummer with the Okmoniks). Vocalist Helene 33 has a rough-edged, bubblegum-punk yelp perfectly suited to the feral garage racket these four musicians bash and belt out with unbridled enthusiasm. Think ‘60s garage party gone bad — very bad — when mom and dad leave town. Think white-hot organ riffs, a battery of flinty tambourines and drums, and enough crude, snaggle-toothed guitar riffage to shred a hipster’s polyester suit in seconds flat. There are handclaps galore on “Teenage Timebomb,” overly caffeinated keyboards on “Hey I’m Ok,” and “Rustle Up Some Action” nails a hip-swinging beat, but “Not That Good” — penned by Chamblin and also recorded by Nobunny — has an unmistakable pop-punk lineage that hooks the listener like a black leather dog collar. You’re not going anywhere!
