LES SEXAREENOS – We Gonna Ball EP

Corduroy (CORD 103) 2002

 

This crazy RnB combo from Quebec has already released two LPs and several 45s that showcase a real RnR attitude! That’s exactly what Rock And Roll was meant to be: Wild And Untamed! On side one the Sexareenos play a wild RnB tune in their well known trashy sound. The 2nd side opens with a raw 60s sounded RnB anthem titled “Why Why Why”. Simple and tight! The 3rd and last song is the cover on the Kenny and The Kasuals “Journey To Tyme”. One of the most authentic covers on that song I’ve ever heard. The Sexareenos capture the spirit and they showcase real garage punk sound! No cheating no mimic playing!

10 out of 10!

THE EMBROOKS – Jack/Dawn Breaks Through

Circle (CPW S102) 2002

 

The Embrooks last LP on Voxx Records was one of the best beat records I’ve listened to for long time. It’s not the sound that I use to prefer, meaning that I prefer a wild farfisa and fuzz garage punk tune than a mod beat song, but in the case of The Embrooks, things seem to be different. Their sound is always pleasant to my ears, mainly because of their solid sound and their fine melodies.

This 45 continues on the same root of the Voxx LP. The production is also great (Toe Rag, ok?), so go ahead!

THE SLOW SLUSHY BOYS – Shotgun Boo-Ga-Loo/Why (I Want To Know)

Soundflat (SFR 45-001) 2002

 

Here is the new 45 by the The Sow Slushy Boys on Soundflat Records (Hello Lutz!). I personally today like the Slow Slushy Boys sounds mostly than ever! The garage punk days are past but the soulbeat days are here! Both tunes on that 45 are GREAT! A side is a soul blaster with upfront hammond sounds and trumpets! A wild boo-ga-loo! 2nd side even better! “Here I am in misery, wondering why you left me” are the first words of “Why (I Want To Know)”, so get that 45 now and wait till you your man or woman leaves you to play that song loudly and cry over and over singing along with The Slow Slushy Boys!
