Cinema is the first full-length release for New York-based quartet Speedball Baby, culling several tracks from previous EP offerings. It's an odd record from start to finish. A lo-fi, grungy effort that welds together bits of rockabilly, surf, and punk rock that is fairly riveting. Lead singer Ron Ward rants, raves, and even speaks the bizarre lyrics. Who knows what he's singing about, but some of the more lucid moments are cleverly amusing. "Suicide Girl" and the title track feature some ghostly twang guitar from Matt Verta-Ray, and the latter turns its title into a whooping war cry. The Texas guitar boogie "Black Eyed-Girl" (with the declaration "I want to live, but I can't walk straight") and the surprisingly effective noise-dirge "Skull Poppin', Skin Tastin', Love Wastin' Son of a Bitch" work best. Most of Cinema is pretty hard to ignore, though, save for the overly goofy throwaway "Toss My Salad." Fans of interesting guitar work or those just wanting something quite different should find Speedball Baby worth checking out. ~ Tom Demalon, Rovi
