Frightnrs Nothing More To SayThe Frightnrs have made a splendid debut album, but it's an open question if listeners will be able to listen past the story behind it and hear it for what it really is. The story is a biggie: hailing from Queens, New York, the Frightnrs were a band that re created the sound of vintage rocksteady and early reggae with striking accuracy and genuine sincerity. After the Frightnrs made a name for themselves on the New York club circuit, they were tapped

the title song and "I Knew The Bride (When She Used To Rock'n'Roll)

touching on social disenchantment

It is the first album of their career to be created outside their hometown of Las Vegas

is a somewhat slower dose of classic chugga-chugga head-banging which showcases Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman's shrieking

but soon returns to furious rock with "Pumping (My Heart)

who delivers a searing

Arriving at its destination by coupling pure '60's guitar-pop with the hyperkinetic pace of hardcore

" "NEW MAGIC WAND

It's such a straight arrangement that it adds virtually nothing

" "Someday My Prince Will Come
