16 Hate & Love [Multimedia Track video]
Brimming with one raucous, upbeat rock ‘n’ roll anthem after another, ‘Long Legs’ is an excellent record – Die Hunns’ fourth since the bands inception in 2000. (You may know them as Duane Peters and the Hunns, but they’ve since shortened their moniker.) Featuring a bunch of covers, including the somewhat obscure, but classic Sex Pistols composition “Did You No Wrong” and re-recorded versions of cuts from previous albums, this may seem like a “throwaway” record for those who already have all The Hunns’ prior releases, but on the contrary, this is – at least so far undoubtedly a strong contender for decade-end best-of lists. A kind of “best of” album, what the band chose to do was to alter the songs slightly – i.e. things they weren’t happy with on the original versions have been tweaked, and so on.
The album is simply comprised of high quality, energetic, spirited tunes that are sure to get you moving. The impressiveness of the record is in large part due to the newly-added punch of Corey Parks’ (Nashville Pussy) formidable bass-slinging and cool vocal prowess showcased on songs like the incredible opener “Time Has Come Today”. This is not to take away from the legendary Duane Peters of U.S. Bombs fame, of course. His distinctively caustic, abrasive vocals shine on songs like the surf-infused “Dead Man”, where his voice is at its angriest, most vehement and the overtly political “War of the World”. And the wonderful vocal interplay between Parks and Peters on Die Hunns’ powerful rendition of Wipers’ “Tragedy” and the hard-rocking “Love & Hate”, are likewise highlights of the album.
Old rock ‘n’ roll/punk flourishes abound on the out-of-control “Burn in Hell” with shouts of “Hey ho, lets go!” at one point, shortly followed by Peters’ “Road Runner” ramblings atop that familiar riff. Yet, interestingly, perhaps the finest offering is “Animals”, which with its acoustic guitars and echo-y feel, is the most sedate (that is, for The Hunns) of the 15 tracks. Its a bit slower than the others, but is still highly energetic and there’s just something about the gang vocals throughout that make it all the better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Duanes Best Album?,
I’ve never been too big a fan of the Hunns, but damn this album is great. The Hunns have finally become the killer rock outfit they’ve been struggling to be over the course of several uneven albums. Sure, the songs are re-recorded Hunns songs or covers, but each blasts out of your speakers with passion and fury the Hunns haven’t shown before. Long Legs is the epitome of the smutty rock ‘n’ roll sound Duane Peters seems to love. If you’ve written off the Hunns as second to the U.S. Bombs before, do yourself a favor and check this one out!
==========================================================
4.0 +3/4 out of 5 stars — Punk rock lives!,
The renamed Duane Peters & The Hunns adds ex-Nashville Pussy bassist Corey Parks for an old-style punk fest. Covers of The Undertones (“I Got Your Number”), Wipers (“Tragedy”), Sex Pistols (“Did You No Wrong”), plus a decidedly non-psychedelic take on the Chambers Brothers “Time Has Come Today” paint the corners of the bands tight, hard-edged melodic-punk sound. Along with agitprop originals like “Ameri-Nightmare” and “War of the World,” Die Hunns rock hard indeed.
