Thee Rogue Telstars To the Moon / Do the T.E.L.S.T.A.R. 7″
Whenever a band opts for “Thee” over “The,” the hope is for some proper garage rock, and THEE ROGUE TELSTARS provide exactly that with these two tracks. If THEE HEADCOATS went to space, it would sound something like this. Simultaneously frantic and tight, “To The Moon” bursts with energy from start to finish, while the B-side starts slow and retro, but quickly finds itself back at the same breakneck speed with a tasteful rockabilly sheen slapped on top. The perfect use of the medium, it’s no surprise this hot slab of Canadian wax was put out by Toronto’s Ugly Pop Records.
