Living Like a Millionaire

RAFR

Rip-roaring power punk direct from New York City’s new kings of performance art-based punk rock. Their look is intimidating: a gender-challenging frontman (not “challenged”) surrounded by tall, lanky, and tattooed musicians, all breathing fire on stage and jamming on some of the fastest, tightest punk rock imaginable.

There are only six songs on the album, counting the title track, but that’s enough to make anyone understand that this band is all about being king of Glam Punk hill. They’re unstoppable on “Rocket City,” “Electric,” and the autobiographical “Go Go Boy.” Living Like a Millionaire is one to search for and crank over and over again.
