sorry, can't help you with the old school stuff, but these guys are cool:
The Quadrajets
Estrus Records
Auburn, Alabama's
The Quadrajets roar out of the Deep South like a raucous, grime-encrusted rock and roll monster that's going to grab you by the throat and shake you out of your complacent musical daze. The band takes a classic two-guitar/bass/drums setup, and explodes into spastic full-throttle hyperdrive like a freight train out of control. Singer
the Cheetah's preacher-on-purple-hearts vocals and bluesy harmonica make the band's Southern-fried punk rock that much more delightfully nasty.
The 'Jets -- currently comprised of
the Cheetah, bassist
Catfish Plate, drummer
J.R.R. Tokken, and guitarists
Roman Hardwick P.I. and
Jerome J. Jerome -- have weathered the loss of almost as many drummers as
Spinal Tap in making their
Blue Cheer-influenced whiskey- and amphetamine-fueled mayhem over the last half-decade. They've put out four full-lengths during that time, including 2000's
When the World's on Fire, featuring "All My Rowdy Friends Are Dead" and "Light Speed Kings."
