The Infamous Stiffs The Ornery Six CD Review

So-Cal Punk Rockers, The Infamous Stiffs are gearing up to release their 2nd effort, an EP entitled “The Ornery Six”. The band has been around for a few years but were stunted by the pandemic. Some familiar names are in the band like Scotty Wikins who fronted the New York Punk band, Electric Frankenstein for a few years. Also in the band are members of the bands Junkyard, The Avengers and The Boneless Ones.
 
The band wastes little time on this EP it’s 15 minutes of ferocious Skate Punk that reminds me of the U.S. Bombs with certain New York Doll influences tossed in – Wilkins vocals, mostly. While I’m not awfully familiar with the band, this EP tells me everything I need to know – these guys are living life full throttle and they’re out for a good time. The production is top-notch, and the songs are well written and catchy as all hell. Melodic hooks, riffs and sing-along anthems for days! Hard to pinpoint a highlight out of 15 minutes, it’s safer to say the entire piece is a highlight but the older Punk Rockers out there will surely get off on the tracks “Top Secret” and “Soul”.
