You may already be familiar with their appearance in Kill Bill or know that annoying Woo Hoo song from the Vonage commercials. If you aren't, then you better get familiar. If you are, then chances are you've been mildly curious and looked them up on wikipedia but never got around to getting their music. Turns out, it's super rad. Their music is mostly 50's rockabilly influenced but their sound is pure fuzzed out 60's garage rock. Their english is terrible but I have a hunch this is on purpose; it does give them a unique sound for this age. Their instrumentation is very simple but it keeps the music feeling authentic. All in all it's a super fun listen.

Listen if you like: japanese chicks, kitchy but genuine rock n' roll

My favorites: I Walk Like Jayne Mansfield, I Don't Need You No More, Highschool Witch, and Teenage Cleopatra. The lyrics on Long Tall Sally hillariously indiscernible.
