DBCR - Bikes 7”
Although I really have no confirmation other than what’s already been written in other places, apparently DBCR stands for Drunken Belligerent Confrontational Rock. If that’s the case, I can certainly see why the band decided to go with just the simple DBCR. While the name does a nice job in basically summing up what they in fact sound like, it’s probably best to not really know what those letters stand for. But they no doubt live up to their self appointed description, with the two tracks residing on this single (a 3rd track is included with the digital download). The opener “Let Them Eat Bikes” blasts through with a simple set of rolling riffs that seems focused on decibels just as much as it does its message. On the flip is “Reverse Broken Window Theory”, which slows things down but maintains the same type of approach as the a-side, but without the pacing and immediacy, and doesn’t necessarily ever really get fired up. I would have liked to have seen the track that was included as the extra in the digital download to have been the actual b-side here, as “Minor Thoughts” while being roughly six minutes sort of accomplishes the bad vibe noise-rock feel that was kind of missing from “Reverse Broken Theory”. Despite the indifference toward the b-side, there is plenty that I am digging here and if there is more to come I sure hope to here it.
