This version actually
came before the one doing the rounds on the radio & TV, and completely
shits all over it! Barney and the boys have retained the feel of the Beastie Boys’ 1986
release, but have added their own licks to give the song a new lease. Track 2
is Mean Streets, also from the
forthcoming album "In The Blood", employs the sound of 70s
metal combined with 90s chunk and an Ozzy Osbourne/Bruce Dickenson
vocal mix. Do It follows as a remix
of our aural introduction from their debut EP "Pain Clinic" of
1995. It is described as "neo-punk riffola",
but I hear a quicker and angrier version of Mean Streets. Hot Lips
is the non-album track, paying tribute to their Aus-rock compatriots with an ACDC/Angels hook.
Bengal Tigers is a band
that deserves one helluva lot of recognition. It's
not a new sound but it is one that will help foster the flagging fan-base and
interest in Australian hard-rock
