Outta Toronto, Ten Kens are Dean & Dan, who put alt-rock in the spin cycle and slam the lid. Their self-titled debut is stuffed full of distorted power jams and tweaky acoustic swings. The amount of distortion and fury are remniscient of DFA1979 - but more rhythmic. A ton of the guitar rounds get bent up and down like crazy, but give a wacked-out uniqueness to the grungy throwdown sound.

“Y’all Come Back Now” is a farmer-gone-insane stomp with an infectious pluck-and-stalk beat. “Downcome Home” is a quicker, more fluid version with shrouded sing-a-long shouts. The vocals throughout the album tend to be hidden behind effects, giving it a ghostly feel. The opening track, “The Alternate Biker” is a surreal, story-like grinder and “Refined” is a zombie-fied cruise on a 60’s highway. Strange, haunted textures epitomize Ten Kens.

The melodies in the album, although buried in distortion and chorus, are at times disturbingly catchy, and if they could cure their own rabies, they’d actually be more dangerous. They’re on the right track, though.

1. He-Man
Possibly the greatest cartoon character of all-time, he kicked Skeletor’s butt 24/7. He and trusty Battle Cat teamed up to keep the peace. Plus, Castle Greyskull? C’mon - best castle ever.

2. Sorceress
Not only was Sorceress sizzlin’ in that crazy bird outfit, but she could appear out of nowhere at any time, making her the ultimate booty call. Oh, and she was smart and had a respectable career, too.

3. Man-E-Faces
Dude could spin his head around like a circus trick and turn into a different person. He could go from calm to violent in an instant. One minute, a mild-mannered homey - the next, a Raiders fan.

4. Fisto
Possibly the funniest name of all the good guys, Fisto had an iron hand but, strangely, didn’t rule anything. He could pound through boulders, villains, and Chryslers like butter though.

5. Ram Man
Quite the opposite of Man Ram, this dude actually had a solid head on his shoulders. Didn’t really have a neck, but who cares? If he and Juggernaut head-butted each other, Chuck Norris would explode.
