The Bottle Ups

The Bottle Ups Long Gone / Too Much Talk 7″

Snappy shit here — driving drumming (a much updated rockabilly beat), hot guitars and lots of energy. Great pop-punk, on the NOMADS’ label.

The Bottle Ups Boppalina Goes West and 3 Others EP

All four tracks here are instrumentals, as I assume all the tracks are on their LP as well. If you’re into ’50s rockin’ tracks like “Tomahawk, “Rumble,” etc., you’ll jump for this. Modern spaghetti western rock ’n’ roll from Sweden.
