The Sound of The American Dream Being Utterly Blown to Bits.
*A quartet with screaming guitar, brutal drums, heavy bass and a crazed lead vocalist, the band's creedo is "Louder is Better!"
It is tempting to lump this group on the trashheap of shock-schlock, but the Savages' songs are simply better. Their twisted, often disturbing lyrics are served up with a side of Humor Noir that sets them apart from other nihilistic bands of the Punk genre.
*The Sarge's lyrics and delivery are filled with passion - bent and twisted passion, but real passion nonetheless. His distinctive vocal style, scathing social commentary, and imposing stage presence make him the perfect frontman for the Savage's sonic whirlpool.
*The Savages' axeman, Joe DiRienzo, is one of the best guitar players in Syracuse, equally capable of playing a simple, fat fill or creating an electric hailstorm. More importantly, he knows when to use them. DiRienzo's mix of abstract expressionism and futurism allows The Sarge plenty of sonic space to vent while still providing leads that rival The Stooges in intensity.
*Bassist John Thomas and drummer Illin' provide the heavy foundation that supports the musings of The Sarge and DiRienzo.
