Review:
The Nads Album: A Smile for Capitalism. By Sam Sutherland - www.exclaim.ca
- June 01, 2005
"One
of the most offensive and interesting acts currently making the rounds
through Ottawa’s growing punk scene, Jason Ramone, aka the Nads, has yet
another disc of ready-to-offend tracks with this recording of a live performance
on Carleton’s CKCU-FM 93.1. Ramone’s schtick is his one-man show, aided
by a small collection of cheap-sounding electronics that conjure images
of Sid Vicious tripping through the music section of Toys“R”Us. His songs
are about things like proportional representation and kids who stare at
their shoes and sing emo songs, but whatever the subject matter, they still
end up sounding like Atom and his Package tracks on speed — a fact that
is brought into stark clarity on his cover of “Hats Off To Halford.” Occasionally
un-listenable, but always in a way that somehow makes you want to keep
listening, The Nads’ sound is not for everyone, but it certainly holds
an important place in the world of difficult, challenging music."
