After raving about the glamtastic debut single “Bubblegum Easycum”, it’s time for me to finally sink my teeth onto Trash Brats full lenght release “Never Too Late For Too Much”. The party starts with “Trash Star Queen”, a raw hard rock/glam gem with roaring guitars and a lot of fun, the aforementioned aptly titled “Bubblegum Easycum” set a new standard for modern bubblegum, mixing catchiness, good times and sleazy desperation. “I don’t wanna look back” is like a melting pot of L.A. neon lights, NY trash and UK’s cheap beer  together with “Seein’ You Leave” which sounds like if The Dogs d’Amour  had relocated in sunny California circa 1989. Trash Stars have the ability to sound like a completely different band depending on the song: from bubblegum glam-pop to good time rock’n’roll and and classic hard rock. If you listen to “Breadcrub” musically this could have been a Ratt b-side when Percy’s mob infested America’s airwaves and not just for the ‘what-you-give-is-what-you-get’ song verse! In “Luv & Pain ” I hear some Shotgun Messiah’s “Living Without You” atmosphere and then “So Much Left” makes my head roll with its glam rock stomping delivered with some killer guitar riffing. “Rock & Roll” is as clichè as the title suggests, and would probably fit a Foxy Roxx setlist! “Dreams” has an infectious chorus and clearly shows that the guys have been listening a lot to underground bands such as Sick Six Crush and Peppermint Creeps. With its dreamy riff, “Our Wish” could be Trash Stars’ answer to Crue’s “Don’t go away mad” and that’s a huge compliment in my book! “My Jewell” has got that punky 1-2-F—K U attitude not miles away from the infamous Rockstars Kill. Finally “Boulevard of Broken Hearts” (hello Hanoi fans!!) slows the place a tad before introducing the last song of the release: a magnificent cover of “Video Nasty” courtesy of L.A.’s one and only Glamour Punks which is sounding as raw and toxic as the original. I have to say that it might be too late for this kind of stuff but for me it will never be too much!
