I just saw these guys last night and was taken to another dimension by their music and stage show. I bought this cd after the show and was taken back near the same dimension only a little to the right by 6 light years. If you like Black Sabbath riffs with a Beach Boys twang, check um out. To get the full effect, you must see them live. Just don't feel sorry for the tv getting smashed.

The Amino Acids are no joke as a musical act, or else one HELL of a good joke. Musically, the only bands I can easily compare them to are the Mermen, or say, the right Rev. Horton Heat. An entirely instrumental act, the Aminos play a hybrid surf/hardcore sound, with each song only lasting 1-3 minutes and leaving you wanting more. High energy, extremely FUN rock. Only wish the songs weren't so short.

Minor notes: they always wear masks in concert. They intersperse their music with short soundbytes about alien sightings and men from mars and the like, many clipped from vintage sci-fi films. They are also one of the few rock-type bands that make frequent use of a theremin. And they have a great video at their website, which will do a better job of giving you the lowdown than my review. I purchased all their CDs directly from there. The Aminos are in frequent play here.
