The Strange Boys

...Austin quartet The Strange Boys have taken up the quest for pure rock n' roll bliss on their debut disc ...And Girls Club and come up with a brilliant garage/psyche gem. Dig the vintage blues jangle of the guitars. Ryan Sambol's wiry whine bringing it all back home. The wiggle in the rhythm section. The sound of Sun and Shel Talmy and Tom Wilson and Bakersfield coating each and every note. This could have just as easily dropped anytime over the past 50 years, but we're pretty thankful it did so today...
