Mario Rubalcaba might always be the former pro for New School Skateboards to me, but to most folks he's known as the amazing drummer for a ton of different San Diego bands, from Earthless to Rocket from the Crypt to the new hot shit punkers OFF!. With Spider Fever, Mario steps out from behind the drums and leads a band for the first time. The results are quite strong, and very much in line with what you would expect from a band with this pedigree...it reminds me a lot of Hot Snakes, but much gruffer, with a heavy Stooges/MC5/pre-punk vibe going on. Rubalcaba is a very capable front man with a voice to suit this type of music, and this record is going to get many, many plays over the summer.
