“Due To You” and “Throw Away,” the opening salvos from L.
Ron Drunkard’s EP "The First 5," are aggressive hardrock tracks with gruffly
delivered nursery rhyme lyrics, with the latter track declaring: “Two, four,
six, eight, everyone just wants to get laid.” Scientology-endorsed it is not,
but it would be by anyone who likes pessimistic post-punk from a power-chord
driven three-piece. “I Feel Great” attempts to put on a happy face, but
“Everything Falls Apart” and “Tie Me Off,” full of heroin metaphors, slow the
tempo and allow the near-west suburban band to probe more subtle instrumental
arrangements. (www.facebook.com/LRonDrunkardMusic)
