PARADISE - VINYL SOLDIERS OF THE MODERN.. [VINYL]

Popis - SOLDIERS OF THE MODERN.. [VINYL]:
Portland (Oregon)'s own cave teen have just released their second full-lenght via Teen Sound Records. An exciting mix of Northwest frat-garage a la Sonics melted in pure 80s garage punk energy pretty close to the early Cynics. Put in a good dose of great 60s songwriting (not far from the Remains just to name one legendary 60s act that inspires Paradise) and you're pretty close to the result. These guys and gal (Tamar, on farfisa organ, as in the best old garage punk tradition is also responsible for the great mixing) put up a wild show full of energy and the record pretty much give you a good idea of what they're at. Last but not least, since they play all originals, there's a very cool exception: a fantastic version of 'Pictures Of Matchstick Man' originally by The Status Quo. So close to the original, yet personal. The guys know their garage punk thing.
