You can tighten up, polish up, work out, and get down on virtually every aspect of your rock 'n' roll -- except for the raw. The more you cook it, it loses its juice, it loses its blood. L.A. trio The Ettes keep it juicy and bloody on "Danger Is," a rough-and-tumble tour through the band's primitive garage rock dirge. The studio cuts and live tracks at the end burn and blend with identical anger and heat -- the sign of a great band, if you ask me. Like early material by the Cramps or even Panther Burns, everything sounds like a one-taker full of attitude and sex appeal. It's raunchy, visceral, and slightly antagonistic. There's Detroit muscle and Memphis soul, all served with a little Lower East Side strut. The Ettes rock, baby.
