Older punk meets ’70s rock’n’roll with a lot of influence on the guitar power. Lyrics are above average for this genre but the music bogs down too often for me. When they rock though, it’s pretty strong stuff.
Another real cool psych record from Germany. This one is a little more keyboard-influenced, but if you like the early sound of the SALVATION ARMY, it shouldn’t be that hard to get used to.
This German garage band has three nice songs in more of a “jamming” style with some pretty good interplay between the electric organ and guitar. Limited to 750 copies.
Another unexpected pleasure from the Netherlands. An excellent crunchy garage/psych band in the same vein as WILMER X or the NOMADS. Some cool covers from the STOOGES to the OUTCASTS. Lots of fun involved here, not just a 60s necrophilic trip.
A record that sounds like ’60s pop-punk infused with surf and folk rock tinges, knocked out with verve. Catchy fun.
As good a neo-’60s compilation as you’ll find, this one covers the international scene with the likes of the STOMACH MOUTHS, BOYS FROM NOWHERE, MIRACLE WORKERS, CRIMSON SHADOWS, CORNFLAKE ZOO, and many, many more. High quality recordings, largely enjoyable punk and psych/punk.
