The debut EP, Straight Chillin’, from Atlanta based quintet Street Violence is the type of psychedelic punk rock that hovers somewhere between The Doors, Stiff Little Fingers and Blondie. This debut EP will have you wishing you were just finishing up a psychedelic bender at a two-day jubilee of music, drugs and dancing.
Reviewed as “carnival-esque pop” by Creative Loafing, Street Violence’s sound is defined by the wailing vocals of Suzanne Baker, psychedelic keyboard work of Will Raines, and a pounding rhythm section that bounces from high energy rock in “Pussy Maggot” to all-out punk in “Shark/Punk.” Guitarist Trevor Vick provides the crunching sound that drives the band’s 60’s sound in “Outside” and “Psychedelic Drive-By,” while the primarily instrumental “Surfing With John Earle” and stomping finale of “Zone 6” round out this great first offering by Street Violence.

Recommended Tracks:
- "Outside" - A late 60’s style tune that is full of soaring keys and crunchy guitar.
- "Pussy Maggot" - A song made for summer and a great representation of the energy that Street Violence can bring.
