Dexateens – Live from Athens, GA – Heathens Homecoming 2020
Recorded way back in February at the 40 Watt Club when the world was a little different, this live album will undoubtedly remind you of the sweat-soaked pleasures of being packed along with other fiends to see a bad ass rock-n-roll band tear the roof off the place. The band’s musical cues include The Andy Griffith Show, Link Wray, and the Ramones, which gives you an idea of the playful but powerful approach the band takes. Lots of favorites but the album-ending attack of “Teenager,” which best brandishes the band’s southern rock and garage punk pedigree, is my favorite song of the year so far.
