 | Simon Chardiet is the former front man of Simon & the Bar Sinisters. This is a cool CD full of punk-edged bar rock, rockabilly, surf, and blues, all pummeled into submission my Simon's attack. Check out the instros, their pretty cool, especially Rik-A-Tic. All the Simon & the Bar Sinisters tracks are here, finally on CD! |

Track by Track Review
Garage Surf (Instrumental)
Cool semi surf instro with an infectious feel, great drums, and whammy.
Punk R&B (Vocal)
A nifty cover of Richard Berry's follow up to "Louie Louie"
Garage Surf (Instrumental)
An edgie version of the Fireballs tune that the Lively Ones did so well. Seems to be a bit rushed or uses a simplified/minimized melody line, but it's a fun track.
Garage Surf (Instrumental)
The Fireballs tune done with edge and without any of the subtlety of the original. Bluesy and cool.
Garage Surf (Instrumental)
Link Wray fun in the garage.
Garage Surf (Instrumental)
Edgy surfy garage version of the spy flick theme. Nice.
Garage (Instrumental)
That theme... minimal garage version.
Attack Of The Little Ones Garage Surf (Instrumental)
Discordant surf garage swellness. makes you nervous just listening to it. It's a surf nightmare, like sitting on your board waiting for the waves that just aren't coming, drifting off, and glancing over your shoulder just in time to see a ten foot face about to pummel you but you can't move...
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly Garage (Instrumental)
Relatively one dimensional cover of a commonly recorded tune.
Attack Of The Little Ones Garage Surf (Instrumental)
