Manuel and the Renegades - Rev Up c/w Trans-Miss-Yendotdotdotdotdot
artworkOne of the most illusive bands of the era, Manuel and the Renegades issued just two singles. This first rage is mandatory for any serious fan of the genre.
Picks: Rev Up, Trans-Miss-Yen

Track by Track Review


Rev Up dotdotdotdotdot
Surf (Instrumental)

This is one monster of a surf instro. Right from the tuff shouted intro "Rev Up" and screaming throaty engine, Manuel and the Renegades rock! Great surf guitar, monster tom toms, boss sax, and very high power. This single defines power, and it's infectious energy and guts are compelling. Totally great!

Trans-Miss-Yen dotdotdotdot
Surf (Instrumental)

Single picked gutty surf riff stompin' groove... "Trans-Miss-Yen" is nasty and powerful in a tribal surf vein. Nasty sax breaks and great simple surf guitar!
