Dillinger Four, Situationist Comedy

By Andrew Ross

Dillinger Four seem to favour misdirection. For starters, there are seven of them, none named Dillinger. The mug shots at the back of the album identify one of them as “Lemmy Kravitz.” Lemmy’s instrument is not specified.

It would seem that misdirection suits them, as evidenced by the album’s strong, bar-suitable tracks. The song titles have little to do with the songs themselves, with tracks like “A Floater Left With Pleasure In The Executive Washroom” and “D4 = Putting the ‘F’ Back in ‘Art.’”

Musically and lyrically solid from start to finish, Situationist Comedy is a thoroughly satisfying punk album.
