October 19, 2005: Secret Cock at Great Scott

Yeah, okay, I'll admit it: I'm here for the name. I wanted to know what Secret Cock was about. Turns out they're a three-piece doing Classic Hard Rock. The bassist and the drummer (who looks young enough that I wonder if the bassist and guitarist are his parents) both sing, both with that bizarre strangled screaming quality (so common in classic hard rock bands) that makes them sound constipated. Fans of AC/DC, of which there certainly are plenty, to my continued mystification, will not have a problem with this vocal quality, but I do. Beyond that they're simple little songs, with some good guitar. The drummer uses a lot of cowbell. If I had a fever when I walked in, I'd certainly be cured by now. This really isn't my style of music at all, and they don't seem like they're going to stop singing like that, so I leave after three songs.
