Review - Dirty Sanchez and The Misfit Kidz - Tweak - Boyz in the neighbourhood

When it comes to delivering adrenaline fuelled teenage daydream party tunes then it doesn't get much better than homegrown ragga-rap renegades and punk-infused popsters Tweak.

On their latest journey into the chaotic realm of tongue in cheek young love, adolescent rebellion, party pranks and radio-ready road movie folklore, the nation's soon-to-be pop pinups pack one helluva playful pop-meets-punk punch.


Snotty singalongs such as "Sunny Days" and the three-chord festivities of "My Favourite Girl" and "I Hate Myself" unashamedly pander to misunderstood suburban kids everywhere. Playful lyrics like the best bit from the four to the floor frenzy of "Obsessive Compulsive" - 'I stole your panties/They smelled so sweetly/I'm sorry if I freaked you out' - perfectly capture the precarious teenage dirtbag delights of puppy love.

And the infectious hooks and "Beastie Boy" style rap revelries of "Houseparty" and "Hell No" (featuring turntable guru Ready D) are destined to spawn a smile on the faces of even the most cynical of listeners. If not, then the multimedia interactive video and short movies of the "band on the run" available on the enhanced CD certainly will.
