The Mighty Stars are really nice surprise - great and catchy garage teen pop. This is a band girls should go crazy about. "Girls! Girls! Girls!" has funny lyrics and great chorus and is my favorite on this EP. "Let's Play" has a touch of rock'n'roll and I love it. "Suzanne" is slower and more indie/power pop - really nice with great chorus that will hang in your ear. There is something about this band that gets into you and you must love them. I can't wait to hear more!!
 

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, Monsters new LP really kicks ass. It's a bit more garagey than their other stuff, but it's really brilliant - it will just blow your mind. There is sooooo much fuzz - that special Monsters fuzz sound, it's soooo dirty, raw and acid. Monsters will just mess your mind with their voodoo magic - they already messed mine. My favorites are "Kiss You Dead" - great fuzz riff, surfy solo guitar, screams from far beyond this world, and creepy "... And Then You Cry" that reminds me of "For Your Love" (Yardbirds). This is one of the best records released this year.
 

This is weird and I like this. Music/Ninja is indie punk with some Fall and Sonic Youth influences. I'm not into indie and I don't like Sonic Youth, but these guys are punk enough for me to like them. What I like is that songs are short, so at the point that some boring indie band would start to irritate me, Music/Ninja make it short and stop. So I like it. It's long time ago that I liked something that has indie sound and I thought I never will again - but Music/Ninja changed my mind.
 

I loved Mystery Girls CD and I'm glad to have piece of vinyl by them. "Turned On, Tuning In" is great noisy and chaotic garage punk - really loud and wild. "Everybodys Talking" on B side is even better and more catchy and "Killing Floor" is a real killer - my favorite on this EP and one of the best songs I heard lately - short, trashy and energetic punk'n'roll with great vocal. Hurry up to get your copy cos there are only 500.
 

The Nederbietels is new Dutch band with members of Perverts, 7 Zuma 7 ... As far as I can see they cover 60s nederbeat songs. So if you're 60s collector you know all this killers and this won't be anything new for you, but you should get this 7" anyway cos Nederbietels are just great. They do it with lot of fun and more energy and sound really fresh. This is NOT some ordinary cover-band. I saw them live not so long ago and it was great fun. And here you get great versions of: Johnny Kendall And The Heralds and Motins ("It's Gone" is one of my nederbeat faves).
