These guys had an extremely zany and attacking sound, deeply rooted in an early SEEDS mold, but rarely does that manic aspect surface anymore. Only one of the six tracks here really approaches that intensity. Instead, they settle for decent organ-dominated ’60s punk with no stinging guitar and no psychotic vocals. Too studied.
Just the thing for folks who can’t afford the steep import prices for great Swedish garage music. While the MOUTHS aren’t the best at what they do, they still manage to kick up a decent fuss full of 60s style ravers. Lots of early demos and alternative takes for the completist.
One of the greatest snarly teen voices in the neo-’60s vein, combined with a rockin’ R’n’B combo makes for hot listening. The addition of Farfisa doesn’t really help a lot, but the band is so astute that it certainly doesn’t hurt. Excellent.
More 60s retro from Sweden — actually pretty cool stuff here, with rave-up vocals, trashy sound and even… a Farfisa organ that doesn’t sound nu-wave. “Eegah” is fully charged instrumental that has the sound of going right over the edge. Very cool and on blue vinyl.
Crazed vocals are the highlight of this tight rockin’ group, with both sides demonstrating pretty up-tempo snarlin’ teen punk in a ’60s vein; SEEDS are a big influence musically. Boss.
