TURBONEGRO - Ass Cobra LP
SCANDINAVIAN LEATHER (3706986 6)
Recorded between 1995 and 1996, Ass Cobra was Turbonegro's breakthrough to the American underground. Ass Cobra paves the way harshly, with a sinister wash of cymbals and loud guitars, articulate riffs, and stellar songwriting â€" think Poison Idea meets Alice Cooper. It is here, also, where Turbonegro developed their signature look: sailor caps, denim from head to toe, mustaches all around, and decidedly butch homoerotic accoutrements. Indeed, the subject matter on Ass Cobra does not stray far from such themes; the album is unapologetically sexual, and not in a polite manner.
