Yeah, the 1st is more, uh, “punk” . . . but fuck me if this ain’t the richer slice of Hollywood dive bar rockin’. The songs are unforgettable, the Stratocaster jangle/snare pop is all their own, and Steve Berlin’s sax makes this near enuf the missing link between THE FLESH EATERS A Minute to Pray, A Second to Die and LOS LOBOS How Will the Wolf Survive? LPs. Plus Gary Panter’s iconic cover art is just the best. If THE CRUZADOS had sounded half this good, maybe Tito Larriva would now be a household name."</p><p><a href="https://www.roughtrade.com/en-gb/product/the-plugz/better-luck" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">roughtrade.com/en-gb/product/t</span><span class="invisible">he-plugz/better-luck</span></a></p>
