Synopsis

Product Description
"While Rock and Roll Backlash boasts fuller-bodied production than many of the Woggles' early works, this doesn't detract from their Nuggets-and Pebbles-inspired aesthetic. The soulful title track calls to action horns and a Motown backbeat, while 'It's Not About What I Want (It's What You Got)' achieves terminal bop with a riff nicked from Dave Davies. 'Porridge' revives the bubblegum era practice of appropriating fairy tales for lyrical content, creating an ideal new segue from Sam the Sham's 'Li'l Red Riding Hood.' Throw in a harrowing cover of the Lords' 'The World Is Falling,' and this Backlash is ready for some castle storming." - Austin Chronicle

CD Reviews

A true rocker
Jersey Kid | Katy, Texas, America! | 03/25/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album achieves a unique position in the garage music genre in that its 12 tracks capture with absolute perfect fidelity what AM rock 'n' roll radio sounded like around 1966. Perhaps a more apt description would be that it is a mirror of what a live show might have sounded like at that time. This band manages to not just play the chords associated with this style of music - an incorrect statement on my part because the styles included on this album span from three-chord charges to surf music to instrumentals - in the correct sequence, they in fact recreate the sounds without any tint of imitation that sometimes causes works such as this to be a bit kitschey.



Go out, buy the album, play it loud and dance to it!"
