Phil Dirt - Reverb Central - PO Box 1609, Felton, CA 95018-1609 USA Split: Huevos Rancheros vs. The Vice Barons
 | Canada's Huevos Rancheros deliver some mighty tasty high intensity big guitar grind. This single couples two mighty fine instros, "Jezebel" and "Durango 95."
Germany's Vice Barons provide some noisy organ drowned instrumentals, "The Starlite Motel" and "California Sun." The overbearing nature of the organ on these crudely recorded tracks renders them much less enjoyable then they could be. High energy, demo quality recordings. |
Picks: Huevos Rancheros - Jezebel, Durango 95
Track by Track Review
Huevos Rancheros - Jezebel Garage Rock Surf (Instrumental)
This is the Frankie Lane hit, not surfified like the Illusions' version, but tangoed and glissandoed like there's no tomorrow. Power driven, loud and determined. It has all the energy of the Jigsaw Seen. Yee-haw!
Huevos Rancheros - Durango 95 Garage Rock Surf (Instrumental)
Big guitar twang, chord falls, string bending, progressional, and powerful. No melody, or damn little, but churns mightily.
The Vice Barons - Starlight Motel PNW Organ Fuzz (Instrumental)
And now, for something completely different... directionless... sorry... I was fantasizing.
The Vice Barons - California Sun PNW Organ Fuzz (Instrumental)
The songs OK, might even be cool, but the recording is really bad. Too many covers already...
