4.0 out of 5 stars
Garage-fuzz from Downunder, September 13, 2005
This review is from: Guilty As Sin (Audio CD)
This Australian trio kicks out the fuzz-guitar garage jams with real power. In addition to the general it's-great-to-be-rockin' vibe, there are shades of the freedom wrought by '60s stalwarts like The Leaves, Standells, and Stones, and neo-garage acts like The Lyres, Chesterfield Kings, and Stems (the latter not coincidentally lead singer Dom Mariani's previous band). There's a helping of power-pop here too, with the band sounding like the Plimsouls on "Your Greed," and the Bo Diddley styled "I'm For You" a worthy exposition of one of rock's primal rhythm. The Creation's "Biff Bang Pow" provides the album's sole cover, and shows off another of the band's influences. Alive's U.S. reissue of the original Aussie release replaces the track "Someone Else's Bubblegum" with "I'm For You." The Stoneage Hearts don't try to remodel the garage, but for those who simply love the focused buzz of pre-psychedelic rock, this is a great ticket. [©2005 hyperbolium dot com]
