Music Review by Gatemouth Wighat Bongo Boy Records Out Of The Garage Volume Two
Step away from those power tools , dudes and dudettes – this garage is gonna rock without ‘ em . The mavens from Bongo Boy Records have ginned up a brand new batch of the ultimate American homegrown sound – jangly reverb ’ d guitars , Vox-Velveeta ® cheesy organ sounds and untuned drums slapping back from the close quarters where your old man stored his never-ending car restoration projects and dirty mags . Out Of The Garage , Volume Two picks up where Volume One left off , and it ’ s hitting on all ten cylinders here . Check ‘ em out and lighten up on the accelerator , just enjoy the ride .
Mark “ Ponytail ” Lindsay gets the party in gear with Show Me The Love – muy macho and the most authentic balls-out strut from the ‘ 60s you ’ d ever expect . Fist-pumping rumpity bumping – dare you not to shake your groove thing . Somewhere a swamp garage is missing a bunch of gassed-up gators – that ’ s the vibe on So Fine by The Nolas . Big spoiler alert – these croc-o-dialers turn on a dime and make surf ’ s-up waves that zap you right back to the ‘ 60s . A revved-up raveup classic : cars , girls and Cheap Perfume ’ s take on Boys , a B-side for The Shirelles and a Ringo sing-song on a record by his old side group , The Beatles . Cheap Perfume makes the case for high-octane rocking with four on the floor for this Motown classic .
