Sellers: “Charm School’s job is to infiltrate, radiate, negate and fascinate. To wield
a real-flame torch among the droves of the lost who don’t even know they are lost.
A soundtrack to the true full-live-birthing of our status as second-world juggernauts.
This is what we rock to in Our Own Private Albania, as our elders and leaders
prove decisively that they learned nothing but nothing in their times on our
planet.”
TUTV: Rowdy riffage dominates this red-hot-blooded sucker-punch, assisted
by a ruthless rhythm section going apeshit now and then, a schizo sax in the
back, and an agitated vocalist. All together they produce a kind of filthy groovin’
hullabaloo.
Fire your shrink and let Charm School screw up your mind. Helter skelter.
