As expected the Jukebox is full of petulant teen ramblings about girls this week. Rough and ragged but not without a bit of soul and just a slight twinge of psych flavor peppering in amongst the crags. Enjoy!
[MP3] The Dirty Wurds - Why
Cracking vocal chords into a heartfelt plea, The Dirty Wurds mix a jangled garage strum and smooth harmonies with flat out desperate sweat on this exhausting single. The best kind of from the hip garage-soul here.
[MP3] The Warner Brothers - Lonely
The brothers Warner lay down a heavy chug and an even heavier sob story on this single. Woe incarnate, though they do make it sound a bit fun to keep things lonely. Curled lip delivery and some sweet harmonies keep things clangin' here but its that driving beat that really delivers.
[MP3] Split Ends - Rich With Nothin'
Yet another tale of love gone wrong and evil women from the 60's oeuvre here. The band knock it out with fuzzed guitars and a nice little freakout section in the middle. Quite a prime slice of garage vitriol reeking of unfiltered cigarettes and heartbreak.
[MP3] Merry Dragons - Universal Vagrant
Not exactly the best of monikers here and that may have added a level of obscurity but the Merry Dragons kick up some nice dust with a tale of restlessness. Naturally women don't seem to help their plight as vagrants as seemed the theme from the decade. I think this may be one of the first garage tracks to sport the line "an arrow in my woo-hoo". So it's got that going for it.
[MP3] The Mauds - You Don't Know Like I Know
The Mauds add a swinging bit of soul to this tale that surprisingly paints their dearest in a loving light. Espousing an undying love and willingness to give anything for their girl with a driving beat and some high quality harmonies and just a stab of guitar walking over that workman bass.
[MP3] The Glass Sun - Silence In The Morning
Rounding things out here with a bit of warble and growl from the psych camp, these boys keep things fuzzy but add a nice layer of effects to stick with the times. It's a nice growling garage track musically that seems to spring for the psych angle with some vaguely obtuse lyrics and a preference for drum breaks, though the overall effect works itself into a pretty choice mix.

No idea where you find this stuff, but it made my day. So awesome.
that warner brothers song sounds like it's based off clarence "frogman" henry's "ain't got no home"…
