Now this, this is fun. The Rezidudes are not a band to be taken seriously. If you make any attempt to approach this band with anything other than a party mindset you will be surely disappointed, and are likely to not get this.

I find it humorous that this found its way to my mailbox so soon after seeing my friend's band play (C U Next Thursday). You see, I experienced that band for the first time just last week, and they are an unoriginal band that plays cover songs. They take an odd collection of tracks from artists like Lita Ford, Fear, Bon Jovi, Billy Idol, Metallica, and Rancid, puts their own brand of garage punk spin on them and puts it out on the stage. They aren't all that good, but they are a lot of fun. What does that have to do with The Rezidudes? Well, they are pretty much the same thing, although they do it with a bit more skill.

The Rezidudes debut album was released this past April Fool's Day with the great title of Welcome to the Suck. Same phrase I use when I get to work in the morning, I kid, I kid. Still, is that a great title or what? Combine that with the happy face of a baby with facial piercings and you have the makings of a great album. Well, at least a funny picture and title.

This is the kind of music that you put on at a party with free flowing beer and a group of friends willing to sing along and make jolly fools of themselves. Seriously, one listen to this album and how can you not want a party? Take some songs from decades pasts, put them through a punk metal blender, and it serves as many as needed.
