CD Reviews

Wide Scream Audio

C. Blair | Houston, Texas | 10/18/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"If you like punk rock, new wave, surf music from Quentin Tarantino movies, surf music from Southern Culture on the Skids, Dick Dale, and Link Wray - then you will find this CD entertaining. The influence of Dick Dale's guitar style and the general sound of 60s surf music is prevalent in many songs. This CD is a chronology of, what I assume to be, their greatest hits. As their name indicates, they do draw from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Influences from bebop to blues to rockabilly to acid rock can be heard somewhere on this CD. Don't be hung up on lyrics because their English is not very understandable, especially in their early work. But the raw, unrefined, genuine garage sound of their early work makes up for it. Although they clearly pay tribute to The Tubes by closing the song Pinball Party with a most articulate "don't touch me there".

There is an assortment of 50s style bebop tunes and covers, which I found to be the least listenable of the collection. I have found that there are about 8 songs I skip when listening to this CD and the last 8 songs are great (if you dig my first sentence in this review). The other songs that I do not skip have undeniable redeeming qualities and serve as a righteous tribute to this bands influences.

What this band has uniquely going for it is the effective use of screaming. Screaming is prevalent in their early work (like in the song Scream) and is somewhat trademarked in their later work as you hear the placement and tonal quality of the screaming become refined over time (as in the song Jet Coaster).

Overall, if you like rock music that is far from the mainstream, and that is guaranteed to wake up the neighbors and the dance floor, this CD is a worthy investment.

Who doesn't love Japanese people playing the surf hits?

"Raw and loud! The singing is great, these girls can really shake it up. Fun to listen to. Surfing music never sounded so out of control."
