Phil Dirt - Reverb Central - PO Box 1609, Felton, CA 95018-1609 USA | Rule .303 is heavy, dark, and crudely recorded and mixed. The band's sound is steeped in modern Dick Dale. |
Picks: Joyride, Black Panties, Snake Charmer, Rumble
Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
"Joyride" is a darkened instro with a murky lead guitar and tom tom rumble - loud and brooding, mid tempo, and kinda cool. It's a compelling number that's all about the tom toms and murky danger.
Surf (Instrumental)
Big whammy chords, a rockabilly beat, and dangerous bass rumble. "Black Panties" is threatening, modern Dick Dale-ish, and heavy. This is risky, like partying with bikers.
Surf (Instrumental)
Heavy tremolo and a lumbering pace with spaghetti western drama and melody stylings, edged with Dick Dale-isms. "Snake Charmer" is bold and very dark.
Surf (Instrumental)
Link Wray and his Raymen's "Rumble" is whammified, moody, and fittingly dangerous. The long glissandos give away its Dick Dale version roots.
