#1460 Dead Ghosts - Can't Get No
I'm tryna cut back on my band namedrops. I'll quit tomorrow I swear. But a band that names its album Can't Get No while sounding like Stones is the stray pack in the back of a drawer, a song called Roky Said, clove on a lover's breath. Tea Swamp Rumble? Well, it's classic Link Wray rumble. Dead Ghosts have zero point zero shame in their revivalism, slopping around in booming 60's scuzz reverb, crackling guitar crunch, stomping and shouting and falling over again and again, blasting and guileless, rollicking across everything between rock's birth and its middleage descent into self-importance. It's an old time good time, clipped and underproduced and probably a hoot live, slapping a fresh coat of slime on the old times and getting away with it with sheer bravado 3/5
