Zombina and the Skeletones: “Monsters on 45″
(ECT Records)
Art always leads the charge in matters critical to the collective consciousness, so here goes: Halloween’s coming. This year’s festivities couldn’t be watched over with keener intent than by Zombina, a hidden nugget of MySpace cubic zirconium who’s squished all three of her boombox-recorded rat-punk EPs into one place. If the DIY-ness of all this doesn’t speak for itself, titles like “Punk Rock Vampires Destroy,” “Astroboy” and “Staci Stasis” should: the Kills and the No-Nos in a three-way with Ed Wood: “Zombie Hop” leading things off with the Munsters’ dee-dee-doo-doo organ line. The band’s safety-pin ethics are as real as it gets, the mix often burying whatever’s the most important instrument at the time. All these monkeyshines earned them a nod from NME, which led to Troma Pictures throwing “Red Planet” on the soundtrack to the forthcoming cinematic milestone “Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead.”
