Megajoos, "Sex, Money, Power, Yes!"

In recent months, I've used the following words and phrases to describe local duo Megajoos: fuzzy, raw, thrash-pop, garage metal, drum-and-bass, sludgy, frantic and noisy. The Joos will soon unleash their Mega Deuce (charming), and we'll have more on that here on the Cream. So rather than further describe these dudes' sound, I'll simply embed the little teaser they're offering, "Sex, Money, Power, Yes!," and leave it at that. It's one of those songs where the title is the lyrics and the lyrics are the title. Dig it above or at Megajoos' Bandcamp page.
