Description
The Motor City does it again, folks! From the birthplace of some of the most significant sounds of the past sixty-odd years, the Stools are certainly no exception to Detroit”s musical legacy. The trio”s self-professed “”Nuggets vs. Killed By Death”” sound is back in full effect on ”R U Saved?”, which could be considered the first proper Stools full length after a slew of EPs and singles. Whether you”re just hearing ”em for the first time or have been tuned in through past releases on Drunken Sailor, Goodbye Boozy, Third Man, and Big Neck – the Stools are at the top of their game here in 2023. Twelve songs in twenty-three minutes, a blaze of bluesy punk damage born from a steady diet of the Stooges, Negative Approach, and the Gories with a dash of that far-gone Memphis sound in the mix. The Stools are a fine-tuned unit across ”R U Saved?” – an album chock full of replay value from the raw, unpretentious, and industrious Detroit trio.
