Huntingtons
All the Stuff (And More), Vol. 1
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
Remember this band's debut album, Sweet Sixteen, and how it didn't have the best sonics of all time? That's because it wasn't ever mastered. But the latest indie offering from Tooth & Nail's Huntingtons is a 29-song potpourri of the old, the new, and some covers and all the Sweet Sixteen songs are mastered and accounted for. Taking the title All the Stuff (And More), Vol. 1, the cover songs on this disc include the unexpected Ronettes song "Be My Baby," Motley Crue's "Looks that Kill," Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It," and The Queers' "Wimpy Drives Through Harlem." But what would such a record be without the obligatory Ramones song? Well, both "Pinhead" and "Do you Remember Rock & Roll Radio?" are covered in full Huntingtons glory. But wait there's more! Also here are a few originals that were never released, like "True to You," "I'm So Stupid" and "Don't Leave Me in the Hospital." So many songs is an especially good deal, considering most Huntingtons records clock in at around 30 minutes or so (and this one's twice that).
