Editorial Reviews

Top seller in Japan for this 1997 debut from the Japanese all-girl group, originally part of the Surf/Garage explosion, making primitive rock with a campy flair.

I bought this album a few years ago and to this day I still play this reord at least once or twice a week. This is the record that makes me wanna drive a hearse to some local chicken shack or beer soaked tavern on a dusty deserted road pop a few quarters in a juke box and start a fight. All I can say is if your soul is suffering do yourself a favor and spend the money on this album...these three women from Japan are gonna save ya !!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars "Everybody do the crazy Oriental rock!", August 18, 2001

This album is a blast! A%*#! kicking, name taking garage rock o'plenty on this one. These gals are not just a cute novelty act, although they *are* cute as a button--but they can really wail too! Oomphy guitar sound with plenty of tasty licks and solos, the bass spices up and embellishes the songs without being too annoyingly obtrusive, and the drumming is impeccably solid with lots of jazzy fills. Our heroines know how to take a standard I-IV-V garage number and do a lot with a little! The garbled, indecipherable lyrics just add to the wacky fun, especially on the covers of old US rock standards Throw this one on at your next shindig and do the Arkansas Twist and the Rockin' Rochester!

4.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, June 21, 2001

"Is it really true what they say that whatever the U.S. of A. produces the japanese can do better?" That qoute from the back cover about sums it up. This trio takes the garage sound of the 60s and turns it into a dumptruck of rock and roll fury. That vintage sound is new again... Highly recommended.
