There will be many albums this year that will astound and challenge you more than this one, but perhaps not so many that will be as immediately and enduringly listenable.
Garage Rock
Lovvers – OCD Go Go Go Girls
With Lovvers debut album OCD Go Go Go Girls the harsh sharp punk edge of the EP has been dulled somewhat, whilst the carefree classic 60s garage rock, and touches of post-punk, have been emphasized.
The Ettes – Danger Is EP
Studio tracks, live tracks, AND videos! The Ettes are generous… but which are worth the price of entry?
Ten City Nation – At the Still Point
Returning with their second album: generous rough-round-the-edges garage rockers Ten City Nation.
Crystal Antlers – Tentacles
Crystal Antlers debut album is a thrilling, visceral assault on the ears, but is let down at times by the production, says James Dalrymple
The Datsuns – Head Stunts
The fourth album from New Zealand rockers The Datsuns sees something of a return to form. Dumb rock-out fun with bits of glam thrown in for good measure? Don’t mind if I do!
