The Bones - Partners in Crime Vol. 1

When I first heard The Bones was gonna release a cover album I was siked.

The Bones, responsible for releasing the essential masterpiece 'Screwed, blued and tattooed' (GET THIS ONE!) and other kick-ass records like ‘Six feet down and two fingers up’, 'Bigger than Jesus' and 'Straight flush ghetto ' decided the time was right to book a studio, record 6 of their favo tunes and invite some friends to join them on the record.

I'm kinda disappointed there's only 6 songs on there, but since this is volume I it's very likely the Swedish greasers are gonna release volume II and/or more in the near future.

 

First song 'I wanna be sedated' by you know who (The Ramones in case you're retarded…) has been covered by thousands of bands and is absolutely un-original but has Lou Koller (Sick of it all) and Roger Miret (Agnostic Front, The Disasters) on vocals! I bet I got your attention now, huh?

'Yesterday's hero' by 'Bay city rollers' has been transformed into a solid streetpunk song and has Mike McColgan (Street Dogs, ex-Dropkick Murphy’s) behind the mic.

Third song 'It's my life' will be the first single and was originally performed by Wendy O Williams and written by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley (Kiss). Mia Coldheart of the Swedish band ‘Crucified Barbara’ takes care of that vocal part.

'Home swing hell' is a swing version of the band’s hit 'Home sweet hell' and is a filler...

Then of course there’s ‘Psycho dad’. Another filler and again...could've been more original!

Last song 'King of fools', originally written by Mr. Mike Ness of Social Distortion stardom is sung by Nicke Borg (Backyard babies) and sounds neat. Not as good as the original version though, but then again none of these songs equal or top the original.

So yeah, it's cool to hear this MCD but to be honest I'm a bigger fan of The Bones playing their own stuff, maybe volume II's gonna prove me wrong?

Score: 78/100
