Aloha Screwdriver – No Way Out
Reviewed by Sadie O., 7/8/11
Louder faster shorter (but surf/car/60s style) instrumentals. Totally analog, dude. Play with Davie Allen and the Arrows, Southern Culture on the Skids, and the Rat Fink. No vocals, hence no FCCs.
1. 2:26 ***Total Link-Wray-itude! Loud, fast, pedal to the floor. Switches to a big, bassy march for a bit. Then back to FAST.
2. 2:24 ***loud and fast, but with rather darkly menacing bits. Bit of psychedelia in the middle.
3. 2:16 ***big chords, big bass, growly sound. Goes through lots of changes in 2 and a quarter minutes.
4. 2:45 ***bigger chords, subdued bass ‘n’ stutter, whammy bar. Little pretty Donovan-y bit in the middle…
5. 3:11 ***superfast surf guitar. Huge whammy moment and bravado, then back to superfast surf.
6. 2:51 ***bit of Pipeline feel, but also maybe a bit of spaghetti western.
7. 2:23 ***absolutely hyperspeed romp. I think… it’s… a polka…
8. 2:35 ***whammy chord, then dark and minimalist and SLOW creep. Suddenly jumps up out of nowhere and gives you the WORST head wound. Gosh!
