Last of the Juanitas - Time's Up EP
(Wantage USA)
When a child is called "a bundle of energy," it
isn't entirely a good thing. It usually means
they are "a handful." But when I say Last of
the Juanitas is a "bundle of energy," I want to
be clear that this is a very very very good
thing. Last of the Juanitas rip through 9 songs
in 20 minutes on their latest EP, Time's Up,
letting off enough energy that you think their
recording space must be a pool of sweat and
that their mothers were probably relieved when
they were finally grown enough to leave the
house.s
Time's Up is somewhat different from the band's
last album, Hawaii, in that it has a looser,
almost practice session-like feel. Songs are
less composed and less lengthy, and the album
seems to be much more about action and reaction
as the band explodes their way through this
short set. As a result though, the sound is
less metal (in the Black Sabbath sense) and
less punk (in the Black Flag sense) and more
spazz and freak (in the Brainiac and US Maple
sense). Perhaps it is the jazz influence (they
even covered Sun Ra on a 7") coming through
louder and clearer.
The album starts off with the driving "Of
Course, Nowadays, They Call it Stalking" whose
crunching guitar riff sounds quite a bit like
"Bulls on Parade." However, instead of mixing
in political hoo-ha, the Juanitas mix in math
rock stuttering and change-ups. I guess the
Juanitas save all their hoo-ha-ing for "Freedom
Now!," where disembodied voices chant a call
and response of "What do you want? FREEDOM!
When do you want it? NOW!" Following two
minutes of jazzy open space
("Self-Loathing-isms"), the crunch and sear
guitars of this song give the EP a fittingly
tense and explosive ending.
Last of the Juanitas aren't some Zapatista
freedom fighters though. They are out to kick
ass, but it's your ass that they'll be kicking.
In "Make You Cry," Lana Rebel plays a nimble
bass lead-in before lashing out "I'm gonna find
out what makes you cry" as the guitar and drums
get raucous and trashy. The EP's strongest
track (both power- and quality-wise) is also
it's shortest, the title track "Time's Up." At
only 78 seconds, the Juanitas play loud, the
Juanitas play fast, and, importantly, the
Juanitas play together. Members of the band
scream out unmiked as the guitars pound their
hammers through the heaviest of metals.
Where "Time's Up" is about precision and being
tight, "Big-Eyed Space Girl" is about being
loose as guest vocalist (and guitarist) Mike
Coumatos yells out "no no no no no" in a
whiney, yelping squall. The instruments backing
the yelping vocals start out precise, but by
the end of the song, they have degraded into a
frenzied whirlwind.
Last of the Juanitas are a rare band in that
they can play together while also playing
powerfully and explosively. As a result, the
massive amount of power and energy the band
puts into their music is directly felt through
your stereo speakers.
