DeeCRACKS Beyond Medication

The influence of The Ramones has clearly been felt around the world for many years and DeeCRACKS are one of thousands of bands that have found themselves paying homage to the six bruddas who struck a handful of chords with so many people. However, these Austrians throw a bit of a curveball on their latest release, the band's second original long player, as they open up with a surf instrumental that took me completely by surprise. "Todo El Mundo Está Enamorado" (which approximately translates to something like "This Worldwide Love" according to the internet) is a punchy, riff-driven track that nicely sets up "Dead End Mission," a song that is much more in line with my expectations, i.e. 75-percent Ramones homage and 25-percent self-generated pop-punk goodness...Rich27
