From Amsterdam, cheaporgan/drums/vocals played cranked out in an altogether psychobilly-surf-garage-electrowave fashion that brings to mind The Cramps, Suicide, Quintron, and the Okmoniks shaken, not stirred. Male vocs are mostly fuzzy but get sing songey a la Ian Curtis or Morrison at times. Drums and organ are balls out. Play with the Konks, Howling Hex, Okmoniks, Mr Airplane Man, A Lines, Sick Lipstick, Suicide. Dig it!! Play any clean track.

1) infectious garage psyche organ, surf beat, peppy
2) driving beat, darker and more mysterious, reminds me of Suicide
3) garagey surfy fun beat and feel
4) bigger drum production works well, more electrowave than garage, still cool as shit
5) FCC (too bad) 6) more mid paced hip grind, jazzy fender Rhodes keys, vocs stay way back on this one
7) skippy fun rock beat, again less garage, whispered vocs a la Suicide
8) strange dark old joy division/new order feel, like through a fuzzbox (supposedly an FCC in here but I didn’t catch it)
9) crazy assed instrumental breaks into a Doors’ish slow dark tone
10) spacey synth intro precedes near-80’s mechanical proto industrial beat, noisy as hell outro
11) upbeat driving, cool fuzz, near-Lee Hazelwood/Johnny Dowd storytelling vocs, whoa
