Deniz Tek专辑介绍：by Jack Rabid, The Big TakeoverThough we might wait until doomsday before the original Saints ever reunite, Australia's other major pioneering punk band, Radio Birdman, did. They sadly restricted their appearances to their home continent, but managed to play in front of tens of thousands more than they ever did at the Big Day Out, the Down Under Lollapalooza. U.S. fans and punk historians writhing in jealousy will probably never get to see the band live -- they never even played in the U.S. when 1977's Radios Appear was issued in the country on Sire in 1978 with different tracks -- but the band's creative force, Deniz Tek, is plunging straight-ahead with his old band's sound. Even missing Rob Younger's snarl-talk vocals, most of the 11 songs sound exactly like Tek's old marauders, strip-mining the MC5/Stooges punked-up Chuck Berry riffs and gruff, tough vocal style so long and loud, you'd think these were Birdman outtakes....
