mclusky Do Dallas by Mclusky

mclusky Do Dallas, the Cardiff trio's second album, came out on Too Pure in April 2002, and its title, a jab at the 1978 porn flick Debbie Does Dallas, tells you roughly how much respect they had for good taste. Andy Falkous yelps, sneers and spits out one-liners over his own serrated guitar, Jon Chapple's bass lands like a dropped anvil, and Matthew Harding drums as if he's trying to put his kit through the floor.

This is noise rock with a stand-up comic's timing: short, vicious, and funnier than it has any right to be. Four singles came off it, "Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues", "Whoknowyou", "To Hell With Good Intentions" and "Alan Is A Cowboy Killer", and the third of those is the one countdowns keep coming back to, years later. Record Store Day gave it a limited vinyl reissue in 2012.
