The Razorblades – Gimme Some Noise! CD (General Schallplatten)
Can you combine surf with punk, new wave, ska, reggae, mod and rockabilly? The Razorblades say yes! The spirit of Dick Dale still lingers over “Gimme Some Noise”, but the three piece from Germany spices the sixties sound with neck breaking speed, wild feedback noise and a colorful range of influences. You can hear the American power pop of the Cute Lepers as well as Agent Orange’s West Coast Punk, find traces of Ska from The Specials, Punky Reggae from the Ruts, the mod sound of the Jam and if you listen closely, there’s also some feedback extravaganza in the spirit of Sonic Youth.
