Get ready for one of thee absolute highlights of 2008. This album is a real swinger!!! If you dig that crazy Bo Diddley style, the pure beat brilliance of bands like the early KINKS, IAN & THE ZODIACS, the TROGGS, the DOWNLINERS SECT & the SCORPIONS and get wylde for those US garage-punk monsters of the 60's, like the SONICS, the WAILERS, the STOICS & the ALARM CLOCKS, there's just this one record you really need to have in your collection, the debut-album by the amazing three-piece hit wonder from Sweden/England, called THE BRANDED. These guys certainly know what REAL rock'n'roll is all about. No experiments, no innovations, no overestimation of one's own capabilities, just pure fun, shitsloads of energy and the ability to write all those great little diddies which will stuck in your head forever, that's the secret formula of those three mad wildmen. Once you've played the first tunes of their ablum, you'll be trapped! What women and booze won't be able to manage, these guys certainly will. Life sentence with the BRANDED, not the worst way to spend the rest of your days, believe me!

THE FALLEN ANGELS
Underground psych rockers from Washington D.C., they were known for interesting experimental approaches to somewhat common pop styles, such as popsike, garage rock, and bubblegum/sunshine pop, even goofing with classic Dixie jazz to nice effect. They were largely ignored by their label (Roulette), which left them wonting for promotion but happily free to explore their own musical path without intervention or “guidance” from industry know-it-alls. The result is two albums of tastefully artistic and well-crafted psychedelia; with no attempt to wedge them into any specific target-audience or twiddle the soundboard knobs toward one radio fad or another, the music is allowed to speak for itself – which can be a rare thing, indeed.

THE JUJUS
Rough & raw garage frat rock and teen rock & roll from Grand Rapids, Michigan, this collection mixes official sides, unreleased studio takes, home demos and more. They never earned a proper LP release in their day, but have been immortalized by several important compilation series, including Pebbles, Back From The Grave, Teenage Shutdown, and Highs In The Mid-Sixties.

THE GLOOMYS
Sunny popsike from Germany, they came out of the early-60’s skiffle craze and caught the Beat bug with everyone else… then followed it straight into post-Sgt. Pepper psych rock, with everyone else. Lost in a sea of like-minded musicians – but not for lack of talent - they managed two LPs in their six-year run, heavy on the pop and teetering on the brink of bubblegum on the second album.

TERRY KNIGHT & THE PACK
Underground Michigan garage icons, they famously spawned two-thirds of the original Grand Funk Railroad trio, and Terry even managed Grand Funk for the first few years. As much as I like Grand Funk, it’s kind of a shame that they didn’t give us a few more Pack albums before moving along… two LPs just isn’t enough! Fantastic first-gen garage rock, moving effortlessly between fuzz rock ragers and dreamy ballads and stompin’ R&B and woozy proto-psych, they epitomize all the best facets of the pre-’67 garage scene. Essential listening.

THE RACKET SQUAD
Good garage psych from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, fronted by the soulful voice of Sonny DiNunzio (sometimes spelled DiNanzio) with sometime help from Joey Covington, who’d later play with Jefferson Airplane – the two were also responsible for Pittsburgh’s albumless garage favorites The Fenways. The Racket Squad’s two records can differ quite a bit stylistically, with a focus on lo-fi beat rock & roll on the first album, and more rough soul psych on the second. Not that this is a problem, mind you: different parties always require different soundtracks, anyway.
