As we discovered last last year all truly great garage rock sounds, for the most part anyway, largely indistinguishable in when and/or where it was made. If we had been told that the 60s Japanese group sound bands we wore out in December were current we'd never have been the wiser, and had it not been for thick Asian accents we'd have been clueless on those bands' origins.
Recently upstart Oakland label Guitars and Bongos issued their first release in Charlie Megira & The Modern Dance Club's double LP Love Police. The immediate standout track is the surf-tinged "Beach Bums Must Die," while the rest of the disc could just as easily have been b-sides from various Goner Records releases or many a Tic Tac Totally 7" in that case.
