Gore Gore Girls – Get The Gore
Reviewed by Sadie O., 8/6/07
Four chicks from Detroit do garage from 60’s to punk. Tons of attitude, lots of fuzz guitar, and the occasional something extra sparking the tracks (like the video game boops in track 12). Nothing to disappoint fans of girls in the garage, and fun for the whole family.
No FCCs detected, although lots of the vocals are pretty covered in fuzz. I hella dig track 12.
1. 2:07 **midtempo power chord rock’n’roll with a bit of handclaps for flavor.
2. 3:14 **bass intro, a bit uptempo, maybe a bit more punk than garage.
3. 2:51 ***beach party bomp and big attitude.
4. 3:05 **oooh, I’m sensing some issues here! 4/4 stomp and feminism. Co-written by Kim Fowley.
5. 2:48 ***very cool downtempo el mysterioso vibe. Bit of sitar, even – very well put together.
6. 3:14 **bass intro, guitar squeals and uptempo punky romp.
7. 2:35 ***lo-fi midtempo 60’s rock (the vocals actually are clearer this way…)
8. 2:22 ***go-go beat, punky vocals, flavored by a bit of chimes, actual guitar solo.
9. 3:45 ***very fuzzy guitar, downtempo bad attitude, Count Five-y. We are not into forgiving and forgetting, it seems…
10. 1:47 **horror b-movie spoken intro, punky midtempo 4/4 music to pick fights by.
11. 2:48 ***guitar chords, maracas, great vocals. A bit downtempo, 60’s dance garage.
12. 2:41 ****shimmy shimmy sweet potato bop! Odd bits of video game noises, totally sick guitar solo. What’s not to love?
13. 2:53 ***aggressive 4/4 stomp. Look out!
14. 1:51 **straight up garage rock, with almost a laid-back (by comparison) bluesy bit in the middle – instrumental.
