The Penetrators = Blowfly + a tinge of punk rock + a wall of saxophone
As far as I can tell, Bad Woman is a collection of re-recorded old songs. This is my first encounter with The Penetrators. They’re all right. They are the type of band that doesn’t have a gigantic fan base, but the fans they do have are real diehards. It’s not hard to see why; this is just straight-up, stripped-down rock n’ roll. This stuff isn’t dressed up and it doesn’t rely on anything that isn’t there. Don’t take that to mean that this is simple stuff. There is a lot to hear on this record. In addition to the standard drums and guitars, there is also organ on a few tracks and saxophone on most tracks. Their cover of "Little Red Riding Hood" is a really great track, as is "Gotta Have Her" and "Teenage Lifestyle." These dudes are old, but there is more energy, attitude and soul in "#1 Band in Town" alone than most young punk bands can ever hope to have in their whole discography. –Aaron Day (June 2008 Slug Magazine)
