The swivel of beach music, the danceable side of ’60s garage rock as it was writ in Chicano Los Angeles: Soul-inflected, R&B conscious, made for Locomotion.
This hip-shakin’ action’d surely appeal to Mod and nü garage fans who wanna dig beyond The White Stripes and The Hives and find some other good “The” bands.
There’re some familiar names, most of ’em, tho’, are not too well-known to me. The Scandinavian rock’n’roll invasion continues, but I think it’s a friendly one.
This stuff is pretty good, albeit kinda unfocused, cuz The Royal Beat Conspiracy jumps ’round the genrescope, but then again, not much more than the Stones.
