Los Saicos - Wild Teen Punk From Peru 1965

Wild Teen Punk From Peru 1965.... that title says it all, really. This band is completely mind blowing for two reasons: first, for the time period, music this heavy was unheard of and second, the band claims to have never listened to garage rock from America before. Could Los Saicos be the first proto-punk/garage band? Maybe... One thing I know for certain is that this is one of the BEST garage rock albums ever. Throat heavy vocals over swirling surf-punk guitars... yum. This is a collection of all their singles and an unofficial album. They never released an LP before breaking up to lead normals lives. Listen to the song Demolicion. You'll thank me later...

The Boo Jays - Happy Halloween 7"

I was sent this awesome 7" from The Boo Jays last week to post on my blog. I was actually already planning on posting it because I've been listening to the mp3's of this 7" for quite some time now and I must say, it's a really amazing release. Yes, more garage rock, but they've got a definite sound that's all their own. Think of a spooky Halloween party at an abandoned house with a surf punk band dressed up as various demons and fiends playing some awesome tunes.. Most of the lyrics are occult themed, or at least the title of the songs are and it definitely radiates a spooky vibe. More so if you buy the glow-in-the-dark 7"...
