The Rebel Set Bummer City LP
It can feel trite to describe something as “fun,” but as soon as this record kicked off, I was having a good time. The REBEL SET plays surf rock filled with awesome organ sounds, tons of handclaps, and reverb-soaked guitar solos. The energy stays high throughout the eleven tracks that comprise Bummer City, and each individual track tends to fly by. I think the vocals could be a bit more dynamic, but that’s just a personal preference; heck, so much great surf rock doesn’t even have vocals, so it’s cool that that’s not the case here. Fans of garage rock in the vein of the MYSTERY LIGHTS and other Wick Records sounds will feel right at home here as well.
