I purchased this cd used for $5. The best $51 have ever spent I don't think
there is a disc that has come out in the past 5-10 years that sums up my
"sound" better than this. A combination of early Man or Astroman? and the
Bomboras. The absolute BEST b-movie samples ever mixed to music. It
doesn't hurt that they sample one of my favorite Munsters episodes (Hot
Rod Herman). Strictly instrumental, the farfisa rules but the surf guitar riffs
are unreal. No label info on the cd, just a local band from Madison,
Wisconson. They are "THE" band of 2003.
Oh yeah, they still kick major butt. Trash talking, floor stomping
psychobiUy. Wearing the crown proudly. These 13 tracks took a bit too
long to come out (5 years), but worth the wait. "Wrong Way Ticket" puts
Poison lvy"s sexy guitar licks front and center and Lux Interior's vocals are
as creepy as ever. They dug up some great covers too. I love their version
of the Wailers' "Hang up".
This is the disc that took me from being someone who thought they put out
some good stuff, to WOW they can really kick itf With the exception of a
couple tracks this is a damn near perfect cd. Simple, straight-up rockin"
tunes. Just the way I like it.
It's pretty hard for me explain why I love this cd so much. It goes against
what my tastes usually are geared towards. All I can say is that this is one
hell of a fun listen. The only downside is the songs sung by Levy and
O'Hara aka Mitch and Mickey. Every social gathering that I've had the past
year has had this disc playing. The movie was great but the songs are by far
what stand out.
Their style hasn't changed much over the years, which I have no problem
with. Straight-up garage with plenty of catchy hooks from the Big Kahuna.
They never caught the wave that passed through along with the Hives and
Mooney Suzuki, which is too bad. Still they are one of the best around.
It is two ep's on one disc... double the pleasure. These tracks are taken from
the "Group Sounds" sessions. The smokin' horn section makes this band
one of my favorites. Always adding that little extra to the bands'
steamrolling sound. This may have come out in late 2002 but it should not
beoverlooked.
Not a 2003 release but is better than most of what came out last
year... actually, much better. SurflGarage straight-up rockin' tunes. The
title track is the stand-out but the rest are worthy of some major toe-tappin'.
Too bad they disbanded.
Their last release was all covers and they did a supreme job. This disc
shows what Mick Collins and his crew can do when they put down their own
material. The dual drummers really add to their sound. As with
"Ultraglide", the tracks are very diverse which makes this a fun listen.
I love her voice. A few of the tracks could have easily been on a
Headcoatees release. Those are the standouts but even the laid back songs
are pretty dam catchy. It gives my head a chance to relax from all the other
great body flailing music Fve been listening to.
The sicko is still sick as ever. Always has a few really good stand out
tracks. It's a bit more consistent than his past few discs. No more Twiggy
which changes the dynamics of the bands' sound. A screaming hell of a
good time.
