Moo-Rat Fingers
"Actung Duschbag" |
On the ever interesting
and worthchecking BigNeck Records just recently two
new 7"s were launched. First is Bremens scumpunk
terrorists, THE MOORAT FINGERS with a 4 tracker 7"
"Achtüng Duschbag". Allthough we get
4 tunes here both sides deal with the same tunes; infact
one side is the German while the flip is the English
side. The songs are to the usual Moorat Fingers taste
less noisy and loathsome, but are fairly, fucked up
and crude punched up punkrawk with a harmfull mission.
No big surprise, but as one should expect from these
punkrawk hoodlums. - Up Yours

The Moo-Rats come out
the gate burning with four fast, rude, loud, and snotty
songs that are over way too quick. In your face guitars
and spit soaked lyrics, sung in both German and English.
Stuff like this is meant to be on singles, and Big Neck
knows how to pick'em. - Hit List

Four deranged Germans,
hellbent on rocking your measly, puny world-and they
mean it! This four song EP actually has the same two
songs on both sides; only they sing'em in German one
side and in English on the flip. These guys are good,
probably one of the better punk band in Germany right
now. - Carbon 14

German outfit doing
full-tilt old school punk rock with the requisite goods.
Reminds me of a cruder/faster LAZY COWGIRLS or ELECTRIC
FRANKENSTEIN. Good songs for bobbing the head and blowing
the eardrums, some nice rockandroll touches just like
the COWGIRLS. Cool songs, loud guitars, a drunken sounding
singer, etc..etc. Does the trick quite nicely for me.

One nation, under the
influence of four loud and obnoxious spasms of fucked
up punk rock and roll mayhem with attitude and venom
for all. I don't know what country's anthem this might
be, but if this four piece coined it, it might sound
something like that. The first track, "Du Solftest
Scwingen," is the German version of "You Should
Be Swinging" which kicks off the B-side. The band
also threw the song, "Radio Off" on here twice,
one time sung by their regular singer (actually, I know
nothing about his toilet habits?), who has a manic rasp
and growl going on and once by Tim, who , as pointed
out on the press release, does sound a bit like Motorhead's
Lemmy. They get a lot of mileage out of these two songs.

Whatever the band's
name lost in being translated from the orginal German
(which is apparently, everything) is more than made
up for by the killer songs. We get English and German
versions of "You Should Be Swinging" (which
I'd like to think is a call for baseball hitters to
be more aggressive but is probably related to fisticuffs)
and two versions of "Radio Off," one regular,
one with the (I think) bassist who happens to sound
a lot like Lemmy. Rip roaring, let's get drunk and rumble
garage punk fueled by Godzilla-size riffs (had to borrow
from another culture there, I couldn't think of a German
equivalent). Great Stuff! - Go Metric

Big Neck continues to
mine Europe for the coolest in raunch-rawk, this time
stopping in Germany for their latest 7" offering.
This four-track single essentially only has two songs
on it. The first, "You Should Be Swinging",
is the reason to buy this sucker. A smoking thrash punk
number sounding quite like a muscular Dwarves if Blag
had a German accent. You get this track sung in German
on the A-Side and English on the B-Side. The German
version sounds a little scarier just cause German is
a fucking scary sounding language, but I'm sure you'll
like it in English much better. The second track, "Radio
Off", sounds a lot like the first except less catchy.
You get two versions of this one too, both in English
(I think), but with two different singers. Definitely
worth buying just for "You Should Be Swinging",
the song is just that good. It's on Big Neck for shit's
sake! And when you order, ask Bart where the hell the
Baseball Furies' full-length is too. - Blankgeneration.com

Yeah, two heavy garage
punk rockers from the Germany. I say two because the
Moo Rat Fingers do the same two songs on each side,
it's just that one side's in English and one side's
in German (I guess). The German side has more kick to
it… Their first tune, "You Should Be Swinging,"
is a firm garage punk tune with a bad attitude. But
"Radio Off" is thee winner of the record via
it's ripping off of classic rock 'n' roll licks that
never get old. Now if I could just get Bart to start
printing better cover art… I'm gonna do it Bart,
do it for eeeeeuuuuuuwwwwwwwwww! - Blankgeneration.com

"Actung Duschbag"
is the American debut by the Moo-Rat Fingers on Big
Neck Records. The Moo-Rat Fingers are a punk band from
Germany. Side A starts off with "Du Solftest Schwigen."
Translated, it means "You Should Be Swinging."
I know this because this song is sung in German on Side
A but the first song on Side B is the same song sung
in English. "Du Solftest Schwigen" is a hard
rockin' song with a great sing-a-long chorus. Of course
I couldn't understand a word of it. "Radio Off"
starts off with some great off-kilter guitar. It has
a killer guitar lead and catchy verse and chorus. Side
B kicks off with "You Should Be Swinging."
It sounds exactly the same only it's sung in English.
To tell you the truth, I couldn't tell the difference
except on the chorus I could understand "You should
be swinging." The last song on the record is "Radio
Off" sung by another band member. Once again it
sound exactly the same except this version sounds like
it was sung by Lemmy from Motorhead. Hell, for all I
know maybe it was. These guys are real good. They have
well crafted songs, play well and will rock you like
a hurricane. This whole two versions of two songs thing
is a little odd, but I like it. And, I like the Moo-Rat
Fingers a lot. I have one question. What the hell does
"You should be swinging" mean? - Cyclops
