Phil Dirt - Reverb Central - PO Box 1609, Felton, CA 95018-1609 USA  | Three demo tracks liberated from the Skegs' website show a band developing a sound of their own based in "surf-spy-rock-abilly." |
Picks: Arabesque, Bad Czech, Raw-Hide
Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
"Arabesque" is a slow instro with big whammy chords and a moody sadness. The sound is a little dirty, but the mood is clear. Pretty and smooth in a fifties sorta way, but not very memorable.
Surf (Instrumental)
Very dirty reverb guitar chop chords over great drums before playing a kind of jazzy melody line that's quite pleasant. Lots of possibilities here, with a sense of European adventure.
Surf (Instrumental)
Link Wray's often ripped "Raw-Hide" is played with guts and spunk. Not particularly original, but a rockin' good time.
