Classics as The Sex Pistols would have played them! Hailing from San Francisco, California, The Sex Presleys are the bastard demon child of Las Vegas Elvis and a transgender Sex Pistols. GOD SAVE THE KING!
Somewhere an old punk whose had a sense of humour bypass will be screaming sacrilege, and in an apoplectic rage might even put his foot through his television set. ˜How dare they' he will say. 'The youth of this nation need protected from this filth' The sacrilegious filth in question will be San Francisco's The Sex Presleys who have released a six track work of genius in my opinion. By melding the songs of Elvis Presley and the Sex Pistols together they've managed to wobble a thin line between taking the piss and actually paying homage to the two legends. On first listen it comes across like a tongue in cheek slap down, but give it a few spins and the fun aspect is infectious. In fact there's a good chance that I would reach for this before 'Never mind the bollocks' as over the last thirty odd years I've done that album to death and a fresh take is always welcome. When you've stopped laughing and have a second and third run at it then it will all start to make sense. Go on. You know you wanna. Fuck the po-faced punks and give in to some SEX PRESLEYS.
A really good Sex Pistols tribute band I really enjoyed the CD well done.
