Track by Track Review
Garage (Instrumental)
Trashy thrashing in garageland loosely covering times gone by. Frat rock with surf bits and over-amped echo trashed Tarzanisms.
Garage (Instrumental)
This is a very garagy and low bow plundering of Manuel and the Renegades' "Rev Up." It has none of the energy, but displays it's own charm and spunk. Lots of surfisms in lo-fi. There are really nice guitar licks, and the drums pound. The sax, while loud, misses the point completely.

"Switchblade" is a track with great drums and surf charm. The tone is on the mark, and Ug and the Cavemen sound like they are right out of the garage - oh, wait, they are! Nice track.
