Teen Feeding Frenzy!
Go-Kustom

By David A. Kulczyk

A few years ago, Kill Switch ... Klick mastermind d.A. Sebasstian
left Cleopatra Records and started Go-Kustom Records. The label's
latest and best release, subtitled "A Tribute to the Music Teens
Love," is a collection of some of the best (or worst) songs ever
geared to the teen market. Some are played straight; others take
the term "cover" to new heights and subtle beauty.
Faith & Disease's gorgeous "Johnny Angel," Courtney Hudak's
acoustic "Girlfriend" and Introversion's 21st-century "Runaway"
all sparkle. Sebasstian punks out the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There"
and turns it into a stalker's song. Remora, [doll factory] and
Things Outside the Skin craft remakes of "Hangin' Tough,"
"Baby One More Time" and "Spice Up Your Life" into nightmarish
visions of industrial and somewhat danceable mayhem. Most
outrageous is 212 destroying the Bay City Rollers' "Saturday
Night" into a mess of haywire magnetic tape.
