The band's name is 'The Jayne Mansfield Death Cars' and they list 2 Girls 1 Cup as their website on Myspace, which I think gives ample insight into their neon-orange punk aesthetic. These twelve songs explore the art of fuckin' around, leaving in their wake a trail of junk guitar, off-the-cuff vocals, and more than a fair share of avant-mumbo-jumbo. I point the listener towards the electric guitar doodles, scattered percussion, and cacophonous vocal blathering of �Sticks,� or the Hasil Adkins-esque deconstructed rock single that is �Grease Fingers.� Other tracks exist as little more than senseless buffoonery (�Detroit 2077,� �Egg�). To put it objectively, I'm unlikely to listen to this manic adventure ever again. But, hey, it was some decently whacked-out fun while it lasted. I'm just glad it didn't last any longer than it did.
