FEISTY CADAVERS - "Dying Art"

Artist:  Feisty Cadavers
Song:  Live Like Vampires
Album:  Dying Art
Year:  1989
Genre:  Punk

I’ve been getting overly wordy in my reviews lately.  So it’s time to cleanse the pallet and get down to bare bones (pun wholeheartedly intended) for a moment.  If anyone asks me to define Detroit punk rock, the name Feisty Cadavers immediately will spew forth from my mouth in an exited, almost kid-like tone.  The Feisty’s are my be-all, end-all representation of punk rock festering from the aforementioned city of despair.  Their debut and follow-up 7”s are perfect; perfect songs, perfect vocal delivery, perfect artwork, and perfect imperfections that give the band heart, identity and the adoration of peers and fans almost 25 years after their release.  Time to go listen to both front to back for the zillionth time.  “Come on boys and rip it up!  Get off your backs and dance!”  R.I.P. Steve, Eric and Dave.
