Japanese band from London’s Dirty Water records (who else, besides Slovenly?). Full on 60’s garage love, Kinks, Paul Revere and the Raiders, 13th Floor Elevators, everything Nuggets. Guitar, bass, drums, vocals trio of guys from Hito City, Japan.

1) (2:53) 60’s flavored garage, bouncy upbeat 2) (3:03) full on 60’s bouncy garage, Kinks, Yardbirds, etc, “love that dirty water” 3) (3:22) groovy feel, 60’s 4) (3:21) similar progressions but busier drums, more urgent 5) (3:30) surfy with super fuzzed guitar lead and jangly rhythm guitar 6) (5:07) Doors’y organ and minor tone to this darker one 7) (3:46) pounding beat, fun 8) (5:13) slower coolness
