NOW SIGNED TO ROUGH TRADE, SO OBV WILL BE NEXT YEARS NEXT BIG THING..HOWEVER..THIS ALBUM IS AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC, DONT CHASE AMBULANCES, BUY THIS! One of the hottest debuts in many years, In The Red does it again, Nuggets flauntin Texan punksters the Strange Boys release their first full length. Austin, TX's The Strange Boys evoke a wild-eyed, porcelainskinned innocence that is capable of summoning the wayward spirit of Brian Jones. The mystery of the South couples with the mastery of rhythm to create a sound completely timeless and familiar, yet absolutely raw and avant-garde. Greg Enlow's syncopated, organ-driven grooves hark back to The Seeds pushing too hard while guitarist Ryan Sambol's voice wavers beyond comparison. Older brother Philip Sambol keeps the pulse with the aptly named Matt Hammer, who unmercifully pounds an old Ludwig set.
