THE EDDIE HASKELLS- ‘DUMPSTER DIVIN’ CD
Wow! I haven’t heard a band or record in a long time that captures the absolute spirit of 70s punk rock like this. There’s a lot of bands that are filed under the whole 70s revival genre or whatever but I never see it, I just see a gimmick. This is the real ####in spirit of 1970s punk rock!!!! It’s got the same magic that the RIFFS have- they are pretty much the only other contemporary band that are graced by the spirit of 1977. Tracks like ‘London Girls’, ‘Little Creep’, ‘Goin Down’ and ‘Lust-N-Danger’ are staggering, beautiful punk rock jewels. The production is right on too, it’s not too big which is the main problem I have with all those other so-called 70s bands, the production wasn’t so big back then!!!! It was actually very thin-sounding which is what I go for, the power is in the song-writing not in the production. The EDDIE HASKELLS are ALL about song-writing. This is remarkable.
