I’m Not What I Used to Be





I don’t really know how to describe this record. The songs are steeped in a love of late 60s guitar driven guitar rock. No song sounds like any other of the times and each are crisp takes on Psychedelic Garage nigh-Paisley rock. Whoever’s brain these songs came from sounds like and unlike every other band that attempts this. 


I wish the recordings were better. All we have is YouTube transfers. And we’re missing two…so you know what that means. Shame, really. These guys should have been at least as big as The Rubinoos. 

They run out of interesting steam towards the end. Again, shame.
