Again, two of my least favourite genres come together: no fan of punk as everyone knows (though Frank and his Rattlesnakes are challenging that long-held stance) and as for surf rock? You can keep it. But here we are with the two together, and listen I must. Unless ... unless the album can't be found? Ah. No such luck. Well then, let the banquet begin. I hate lemons.
Meh, it's not terrible so far. Only two tracks in, mind you, but I don't feel like blowing my brains out just yet. Yeah, you know, this isn't too bad. The instrumental “Can't Get a Haircut” is pretty righteous. Oh, it's not quite an instro – close though.
Check out more from this artist? I wouldn't be rushing to, but I wouldn't totally rule it out
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Same. This was an interesting experience.
