If you thought Amy Fisher was the only
thing Long Island was notorious for, you're wrong. Sea Monster have
been entertaining jaded New Yorkers since 1986 with their unique and
uncompromising brand of blue collar, B-movie punk, with songs about
politics, work, sex, motorcycles, movies and the military, all
performed with scathingly sarcastic panache. "Steve Reevis" [sic} opens
with a psychedelic wah-wah guitar intro and pays tribute to deceased
B-movie muscle man ("When Steve Reeves sweats/He never takes a
shower/Steve Reeves strong, he'll lift the Eiffel Tower/Steve Reeves
brave, he'll carry on forever/And Steve Reeves tool, man it's a
talisman of power!"). "The Beast" (a re-recorded version that
originally appeared on their previous release, (Enduro
Bizarro Entacto) it's a song about
vocalist Arthur Stevenson's genitalia (With lewd exception she started
to feast/We roared with laughter as she sucked off the beast/ A
one-eyed serpent, determined but blind/ A primitive beast with a
one-track mind!"). "The World's Smallest Violin" is a bitingly sardonic
tune about people on poor-poor- pitiful-me trips. "Barbeque At Phil's"
is the ultimate party song, and Sea Monster are the ultimate party
band. Play this disc at you next beer bash and let the good times roll!
