A Little Ghetto, A Lotta Awesome
(from l to r) Jody Giachello(d), Fletcher Alliston(b), Chris Candy(v) and Chris Shilakes(g)www.ChottoGhetto.com
I'm posting the two Chotto Ghetto EPs that are on Quote Unquote Records because the last one was Fishbone and Chotto Ghetto are highly influenced by them. Also, in the liner notes to "Walk is Godlike" you can find this "Chotto Ghetto got to play with Fishbone....YAY!". I can go on & on about how awesome the dudes in Chotto Ghetto are, but I'd rather focus on their music.

"Rhythmic Violence" really jumps out at you. It's kind of like Refused but not like those bands that try to sound like Refused. Okay, that might be the reefer talking. The keyboard/sick metal riff on "Emergency" can get stuck in your head for a while, don't say I didn't warn you. "Holy Wars" is in a word, "Triumphant".
And then there's "Sodium Penthanol: Truth Serum". Although he's not playing on this recording, drummer Jody Giachello tears this fucking song to shreds live. It's great, they're great, this EP is great.
"I'll take a front for another uproar, I do not care to disrespect you."

This album is just about twice as long as "Rampage", but the songs are a lot faster. I don't mean that in a bad way at all. The record is quick, and the songs are very direct. The jam at the end of "Liquid Diamond Lipstick" is in two words, "the shit". Don't worry, much like "Rampage", this album has another triumphant track, "Tattooed Holidays". Jody's entrance into the band really comes through on this record. The changes in "Tattooed Holidays" are that of a highly skilled DJ. For real.
All in all, I would say that "Rampage" has kind of a Glassjaw vibe, and that "Walk is Godlike" has kind of a Faith No More vibe. So that's how I see them progressing musically. They just fucking played with The Adolescents and they're playing with Mike Watt's band on Friday. Sick d00ds. Time for fatty foods and sleep. Next post Friday?
