The Knights of Fuzz – The Garage and Psychedelic Music Explosion from 1980 to Now – Review

April 20, 2007

A DVD of clips from bands that dug cool stuff book-ended by ’62 -’68. They were usually fueled by the concurrent snot punk and power pop stuff swirling around.

The Radio Knives – Cursed – Review

September 1, 2006

From Boston, signed to legendary punk label Dionysus, this three-piece crank out the garage rock with skill and style. Riffs, organ, and hand-claps galore.

Muck and The Mires – 1 2 3 4 – Review

September 1, 2006

Used to be on Bomp!, but the reactivated Dionysus makes as much sense. Boston garage pop that sounds like it coulda come out in the ’60s as easily as now.

Les Terribles – Review

March 28, 2005

French chick-fronted garage rock. Recorded raw, with lots of yeah-yeah choruses and swank.

Mondo Topless – Get Ready for Action – Review

April 1, 1999

The stuff of Get Ready For Action is grittier and without F&M’s humorous shtick, but still, the Yardbirds and Wailers stuff is still obtainable.

Dead Boys – Twistin’ on the Devil’s Fork – Review

March 1, 1998

Six songs from Young…, six from We Have Come…, all recorded like shit, live at CBGB’s.

Hot Damn! – Big Fat Lover – Interview

November 1, 1997

An interview with Zebra

The Bomboras – It Came from Pier 13 – Review

June 1, 1997

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.

The Sugar Freaks – “Summertime” – Review

February 1, 1997

Two girls and a guy play kitschy garage rock with an Undertones (prolonged adolescence) mentality. Dionysus knows that 7″s are an end in themselves.

The Satelliters – Hi Karate – Review

November 1, 1996

From the Kinks “All Day And All Of The Night,” to the Beatles imitation “1000 Ways,” to the psychotic “Murder In The Moors,” these guys have it down.
