Rating: B 

Hard rock married punk, fucked a lot, and then gave birth to Frankenstein 3000.  While the band have made a name for themselves in the Northeast, most rock fans, elsewhere, are unaware of the band.  It is really a shame as these guys really do mix punk and hard rock to perfection.  The latest album features mostly original tunes but also a punky version of Elvis Costello’s “Green Shirt.”  It is not the remake that makes the band, though.  Think of that as more of a fun bonus.  What makes Frankenstein 3000 a great band are their songs.  “Getaway” and “Mind Over Matter” are damn good tunes that deserve to be heard.  “30 Days” is the best song on the album and a great tribute to rehab.   

The band can play too.  There are lots of great hooks, guitar solos and good vocals (something all to often missing on the indi band circuit.)  The band has been around a decade, staying under the radar.  Now is the time for rock fans to embrace this band.  If you love hard rocking music with a punk edge, original lyrics and song themes, and bands with loads of attitude, then do yourself a favor and check this band out at their official website.  Visit Frankenstein 3000 at www.frankenstein3000.com.
