The Schizophonics are one of the most exciting live bands on the garage/punk scene right now, and this release shows they can back it up in the studio. The music is based on insistent riffs a la The MC5, The Sonics and early Kinks, and the singing is as passionate as the playing. Special nods go to the propulsive drummer Lety Beers, who anchors husband Pat’s fuzzed-out chords. He does fantastic bursts of psychedelic lead guitar as well, especially on “Like A Mummy.” The Schizophonics are not out to re-invent the wheel musically, they just want to strap a nitro-fueled rocket to it.
