Bithammer!
Scandinavian Wanker, cdep (WIV030CD)

 

I´ve said it before and can´t say it enough - good garage rock´n roll is very hard to create and there´s too many fucking bands of that sort out there! Go home and try and make some disco instead, maybe I will like you then. But there´s some people that know how garage rock´n roll ought to sound like, luckily they´re still doing it! I´ve never really bothered to check out too many bands, some swedish bands wore me out with their boring songs and I got enough. But every band that Arne Thelin has been involved with like The Lust-O-Rama, Cosmic Dropouts, Bittersweets and Kwyet Kings have all rocked my house any time. And now he´s out in the streets of Thailand with his new outfit, Bithammer! Well, they have been around for some time and released one brilliant 7" on Sneakers records here in Norway. Scroll down a bit and see the review. This time it´s a six-track cd ep released on Tokyos Wizzard In Vinyl (strange, huh?) and it doesn´t stand back for anything! Maybe it´s just my excitement but the first track, Stevie Come Back, is one of the best of Thelin´s work ever! It´s such a great song full of energy and an amazing intro, the fuzz, and hopefully the buzz, is on. Get this song to the charts so people can hear how it´s done. The next two tracks is off the High And Mighty 7", and it´s nice to have them on cd, but that´s also my little problem. I would rather have more new songs when it´s as good as this, but it´s great that more people now can hear these cool earlier numbers, Teenage Gay Queen is still a topnotch title. Same goes for Rock´n Roll Whore, but it´s a little weird track, none the less it´s a good song. Now, go and buy the damn thing! We got it for sale right on this web-site, mail me today and I´ll have it off to you tomorrow.
