Brat Attack

TRIBUTE

BY Sam SutherlandPublished Feb 15, 2007

Playing up the childlike nature of the Ramones, Brats on the Beat: Ramones For Kids is perfect for youngsters whose tastes veer left of typical Kidz Bop stuff. Spearheaded by that most respected of musical endeavours, the tribute band, Ramones impersonators Gabba Gabba Heys perform backing tracks on 12 hits, along with members of Goldfinger and Eagles of Death Metal. Featuring a chorus of cheerful pre-teens in the background, punk heavyweights do their best impression of Joey: Tony Relfex (the Adolescents), Jim Lindberg (Pennywise), Jack Grisham (TSOL), and Matt Skiba (Alkaline Trio) show up to warble on like "Rock ‘n’ Roll High School” and "Suzy Is A Headbanger,” Plus, a portion of the proceeds goes to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
