Ya just gotta give Connecticut’s TURKEY VULTURE props for doing it the right way – honing its sound over 4 EPs and a smattering of singles since 2019, not over-anxious to jump into the album format, when it may never suit them. ‘Jill The Ripper (Heavy Take)’ doesn’t come with the promised “doom’s crushing weight”, but the snarl in the vox of drummer Jim Clegg more than suffice, the tune rampant with dirty punk ‘n’ roll ala VANDALS and CIRCLE JERKS (VI era). The title track finds guitarist/bassist Jessie May joining on vocals and boasts a chorus as catchy as anything DROPKICK MURPHYS could crank out. Lots of worse ways to spend five minutes of your life than Dead To Me.
