The Bomboras

It Came from Pier 13 (Dionysus)
by Lex Marburger

No hackneyed Ventures rip off, this. Granted you can’t escape the “Telstar” sound when playing this stuff, but The Bomboras incorporate it into their own sound. There’s a little more distortion in It Came From Pier 13!, and a slight soundtrack element that recalls all those beach party-gone-bad movies of the ’60s. Songs like “Guitar Grinder” have a psychedelic garage distortion all over it, while others, like “Hypnotica,” go all the way over the top with reverb drums, and sax. A nice one to add to your collection.
