Gear head “stoner” garage rock to the max. This channels all things good that Nugent, Grand Funk ever touched on, plus the obvious cream of Stooges, MC5. Swingy Black Sabbath is an obvious reference too, if not a hallowed source. No pussies allowed, just guitar/bass/drums and yay-yeah vocs (oh and some Fender Rhodes that lend a total 70’s sheen to much of this). Swingy blues rock undercurrent to the hard driving punky garage feel rises to the surface on track 2 legitimizing early ZZ Top once and for all (and a fuck of a lot of other “bad” 70’s music at that). Eight of eleven songs were previously released as two separate EPs (hence the name), 3 new songs (tracks 1-3) and remixes of 5 of the previous.

1) hard driving riff, total motor city madman
2) bluesy, slower near 12 bar feel, like the best ZZ Top
3) driving, slight blues feel
4) slower psyche feel with wah and flanger, with epic chorus
5) driving rock and roll dude, one FCC late, swingy Sabbath feel too
6) mid paced heavy Sabbath feel, “all-right-now”, gets super psyche in end
7) mellowish 12 bar blues-rock swingy with Fender Rhodes solo kicks into balls out driving jam after 3.5 minutes
8) total sabbathy psyche dirge rock, shifts into trippy almost prog jazzy thing after 3 minutes, very 70’s
9) full on “yay-yeah” driving rocker with trippy synth noises
10) head banging swingier driving stoner rock
11) slow dirgy one
