Outstanding Garage Rock

"I heard one of these songs on Little Steven's Underground Garage and decided to buy the CD, and was richly rewarded for doing so--the Satelliters serve up great old school garage rock. The album is consistent from beginning to end, with no filler. The CD was released in 2007, but the group uses old-style instruments, so the songs sound like they were recorded 40+ years earlier. Those fans of Sixties garage rock who add this CD to their collection will definitely not regret that decision.

"The front cover should tell you everything you need to know if you're a true garage rock afficianado-a classic(and I mean CLASSIC!) Mosrite guitar as the only prop for 5 guys that look like they could be the MC5. These guys may be 1966 retro but they somehow succed hauling it into the new millenium. Although there's a few extraordinary cover tunes (like the insane version of the Small Faces'"Wham Bam Thank You Mam" on the last cd "Hashish")such as The Birds-(their BEST song ever-No Good Without You Baby) along w/ one of my favorite Easybeats songs of all time(I'll make you Sorry)it'the originals like "Hey"(reminds me of the great Engish band "GUN")and "Make Me Smile"(incredible Hollies sounding cut)that truly blow me away. These guys deserve to be rockstars just like those great 60's garage bands who are enjoying a rennaissance at this very moment. Once you get into the "garage sounds" you'll never be able to leave!"
