Remember the Hives, and that album of theirs, Vini Vidi Vicious? You heard it, remember? and you thought to yourself, "why do the Swedes totally kick American ass in garage rock?" and then came a veritable flood of bands like them, far too many to mention here, and they, indeed, continued that dominance for a while.
And then, you kinda forgot about garage rock, didn't you? It was a blip. Till now, and the new heroes of American garage rock are Locksley, a band out of NYC. A rarity, I know, since the Big Apple never produces bands, but like most bands from there, they've come from somewhere else - in this case, Madison, Wisconsin. They're gonna take the good garage rock fight straight to the Swedes and anyone else who dare stand in their path to total dominance. Plus, like every other good band going nowadays, they took a quick stop by the Quad Cities to pay their dues in the Daytrotter Studios, where they recorded this, from their first LP, Don't Make Me Wait.
