Koel Family

Koel Family I’m Telling Mom cassette

Some great 60s influenced garage rock here, 17 original tunes of great sound quality. Some of this has a taste of early CRAMPS, GUN CLUB, X, to add some modern flavor. Nice full-color package.

Koel Family Village of the Darned cassette

Funnypunk, ’60s garage style. This original Bay Area group, which encompasses the acoustically oriented Koel Brothers and Metal Mike (ex-ANGRY SAMOANS, etc.) offers 20 songs satirizing American mores from “Floridah” to “Davenport, Iowa.” The lyrics are hilarious and some of the songs really kick ass.
