Palooka 5 EP
Having seen Palooka 5 a
few times live I have to say the EP does not disappoint. This retro
packaged CD carries 4 tracks every bit as energetic as they are live.
This 5 piece is delight to hear and all 4 tracks on this EP show off
what they can do. It's no surprise to me given it was recorded by those Somerset wizards at Fuelled By Cider's Studio. All the songs are original but feel like they come
straight out of the 1960's Surf Garage scene. Everything sounds
authentic, the Drums, the Bass, the Vocals but particularly the Lead
Guitar and Organ really transports you to another time.
'La Mancha' is the
first track and could easy fit on a Quentin Tarantino Soundtrack,
'Little Frathouse' starts with the sounds of the sea before some
gorgeous guitar and into a rockin' number. 'Dropzone' really does
sound like a cross between Dick Dale and the 60's theme of Batman,
it's a cracking instrumental with the whole band getting stuck in
Daddy-o. 'Cindy Joined A Surf Gang' is a little bit more moody but
still full on Surf Garage and I do feel like doing the twist to this
in Jack Rabbit Slims.
I go to a lot of gig's
alone and it can take me a while to feel in the groove but when you
listen to Palooka 5 it makes the most miserable sod smile and start
to tap your toes or worse. Palooka 5 are one of the most fun bands to
hear live or on this EP. 'La Mancha' also appears on the compilation 'Straight Outta Somerset'.
