THE NEDERBIETELS
KEJJE NAGAAN/COMIN' HOME
Tear It Up Records 2002

More nederbeat killers from The Nederbietels. And believe me this 7" is so great that you should hurry to get a copy 'cos it's almost sold out already. When you see the sleeve, you will forget all nederbeat originals and you will want to have this 7". But you will see what I'm talking about when you open it. "Kejje nagaan" - do I have to say much about this song? If you like 60s stuff you should already know it, 'cos Het is for sure one of the best nederbeat bands and Nederbietels play it really great. B side is really nice cover of Sandy Coast "Comin' Home".

RAY DAYTONA AND GOOGOOBOMBOS
SPACE AGE TRAFFIC JAM CD
Mad Driver Records 2001

Wooooow this is really groovy. Organ driven garage and surf that moves and shakes your body and soul. Really nicely played and good produced. There are vocal and instrumental songs. I don't know what I like better - all songs are good. My favorites are: "Texas Saucer Contact" (probably because of the lyrics), "2 Is Better Than 1" with great oriental solo, crazy and scary "Monster Stomp", nice surf instrumental with organ "Big George", fuzzy "Spider In My Head" and spacey "Weird On The Moon". And I must add that cover art is really nice.

RAY DAYTONA AND GOOGOOBOMBOS
A WILD SHOT OF ... CD
Mad Driver Records 1999

More surf and garage tunes from Ray Daytona And Googoobombos. This CD is pretty much the same style like "Space Age Traffic". Here are my favorites here: opening track "Speed Limit 65" with nice melody, great fuzz garage "It's Too Late", harmonica driven "Jamie Lee" and "Here Come The Cops", spacey "Rail-Vette" with groovy organ, short but nice oriental sitar instro "Coyote", "Smell Of Zambra" real weird killer that reminds me of one of my favorite instrumental bands - Los Banditos, angry garage "Tellin' Lies", great and catchy "X-Mas Eve" with harmonica - garage punk the way I like best and trippy and psychotic "Uncle Creepy Takes A Trip". Well it seems that 10 out of 14 songs are my faves - hahaha. That means only 1 thing - this CD is great.

SLOGGY
JALOPY-MUSIC 7"EP
Dull City Records 2002

Wooow I think this is something for me. I would describe this as electronic garage r'n'r wave. Simply programmed drum computer, fuzz guitars and male and female vocals. My favorites are: raw and primitive "Squeez Me" with great guitar riff that reminds me of "Shakin' All Over" and synth noises and "Voodoo Queen" creepy and slow, more electro wave track in French and English. Dull City is putting out some really great stuff lately. Make sure to check it out!!!

TINA AND THE TOTAL BABES
SHE'S SO TUFF LP
Sympathy For The record Industry

The reason I'm reviewing this record so late is that I didn't want to pay 15 EUR (or more) in Dutch record shops for it. Sometimes the prices are really ridiculous. I got it in Demolition Derby shop for much less. Anyway, I'm glad I bought it cos it's a fucking killer. This record sounds and looks like it's from late 70s. It's 100% great power pop. You have few great covers - The Demons, Holly And The Italians, The Messengers. The other songs are written by Travis Ramin who also produced this record. What can I say - with Tina (Trashwomen, Bobbyteens) you can't be wrong. I really love the way she sings. If you don't have this record yet - you must get it !!! It sounds like the best band straight from the golden age of punk and power pop.

UPTIGHT
SLIGHTLY PSYCHO CD EP
2002

I love this new Uptight EP - it's a blast of mod and garage punk with really great production. My favorite is "Kill Or Be Killed" with great chorus. But the other 3 songs are great too, specially "Teen Queen Slasher Stomp". This is not just usual mod garage band. Uptight have roots in 60s, but still they sound modern and that's what I like about them. It's not only The Hives that should get on MTV. There are more great bands out there.
