Editorial Reviews

About the Artist

The Honkeys are St. Louis’ only premier surf/instrumental rock ’n’ roll sensations. With lightning-fast Fender and Mosrite guitar-picking artistry; tons of fuzz and reverb effects; heart-pumping bass; foot-stomping, big-beat percussion; mysterious, spine-tingling organ riffs; and intriguing melodies bristling with excitement and adolescent menace, these fine young men lay down the wildest, sexiest, and most exotic surf and instrumental rock ’n’ roll stylings ever attempted around this part of the landlocked Midwest.

Product Description

Inspired by their love of ’60s go-go movies, reverb, chili, yo-yos, and the occasional professional wrestling match, they molded their noise into a groovy modern interpretation of instrumental surf music that is both unmistakable and unforgettable. And while they remain overwhelmingly uninterested in the banal predictability of the jam band resurgence or in the generic mind-numbing malaise of modern rock or alternative music, The Honkeys don’t find rock ’n’ roll’s original language to be exhausted. They are faithful to their instruments’ traditional vocabularies as they strive to create the instrumental sound of NOW; contemporary in attitude, fresh and exciting in execution.

Top marks for this instro Cd. These guys have a unique sound, and really know how to rock. I like the fact that there are no overused covers like "The Lonely Bull" instead they cover Frank Zappa! Hangin 10 in Florida.

This review is from: Tequila Mockingbird (Audio CD)

This sounds like a bunch of thirteen year olds trying to cover early Man or Astroman, and failing miserably. The ain't-I-clever song titles and amateurish playing don't help matters in the slightest.

Notable really only for some of the absolute worst drumming ever heard on record.
