"Good garage rock makes you want to destroy" Or so said Thurston Moore. Using the above criterion, The Hunches' debut album is very goddamn good.
Everytime it plays I wanna bust something up. Modern garage rock's trajectory
was formulated by the early Cramps. All subsequent combos are measured against
their ass-thrashing ruler. While lotsa decent bands have come along, few have
pushed the genre's boundaries. The last ones who did were Garage Wolf, the
Oblivians and the Lord HIgh Fixers. Now, here're The Hunches, knocking loudly
at the walls of the known. They blast extremely hard, post-core, thrash-noise
chunklets into The Cramp's Platonic framework, add vocal weirdness, strange
raunch-ballad action, and really knuckle the whole mess into a bloody pulp.
They even cover the Electric Eels' Accident. And the result are one helluva
beautiful wreck."
