The Didjits’ third project, Hornet Pinata takes a bold leap in energy and bite over 1988′s Hey Judester, as Rick Sims’ arrogant guitar and vocal assertiveness demand your attention. From the opening dragstrip riot of “Killboy Powerhead” (covered by The Offspring), Hornet Pinata blisters through hilarious tales of counterculture excess. Bodily harm, gambling, and dope are all present; ditto for dangerous sluts and Satan. Juvenile, brash, and with enough punk spirit in its tunes of wreckage, The Didjits had finally found their sound and attitude. – Matt Carlson
