The Ripper; Fresh Prince Of Darkness.In the '90s, the Dwarves built a career out
of pretending to be the scuzziest punk band in the known universe, but these
days they're content to play the bad taste card for a laugh while tearing up
their guitars with the polished attack of a SoCal pop-punk outfit. 2014's The
Dwarves Invented Rock & Roll often feels more like a comedy album than
hardcore punk, especially on tunes like "Trailer Trash," "Fun to Try," and
"Sluts of the USA," so clearly played for laughs that you can almost feel the
elbow nudged into your ribs, while "Fiction" plays like a parody of Kid Rock,
and "Unpredictable" is built around improbable samples from other tunes. The
production is professional and precise on Invented Rock & Roll, and most of
the songs are tight and fast and hooky, no matter how much bad behavior is
depicted in the lyrics. And the Dwarves conjure up some genuine menace on the
metal-fortified "Bleed Alright." As instrumentalists, the Dwarves sound more
precise than ever on The Dwarves Invented Rock & Roll, suggesting they've
cleaned up musically if not lyrically. ~ Mark Deming
