The Good The Bad – From 005 to 008

By in Music Reviews

Interesting promo sent to me by this trio who create instrumental surf-rock. I didn’t hate it, nor did I particularly love it. Perhaps if the guitar work had been tighter and more imaginative, I would have gone a bit nuts for it; but ultimately they’re a band making safe, good-time rock n’ roll with surftastic tremolo licks. The Good The Bad are kind of like the boys in the Bikini Beach Band (who play twang covers of modern tunes), but without their sense of humour and all  the presumed attitude of Jack White on a particularly introspective day.

There’s nothing wrong with the music per se, but it’s not particularly inspiring to listen to – I’d be just as happy listening to The Shadows. Anyway, some of the less cyncial amongst you may disagree and wish to enthuse over them like this especially eager bunch.

    I'm not sure any of those people have been to a concert before.

    Yeah, but they're so hot.
