The Nematoads - Spy Car Mechanic (CD)

Spy Car Mechanic features 13 top fuel raucous rock & roll, surf, and spy tunes. For fans of surf-punk, crime jazz, John Barry, and Link Wray.

"Spy Car Mechanic" is a relatively recent effort from Texas-based hipsters The Nematoads, and its a real winner. With a jet black muscle car on the CD cover, I was smiling before I popped this bad boy into my player. Its thundering intro entitled "Rex Dart: Eskimo Spy" had me imagining myself to be "Speed Racer" my whole way to work. The sound is a quirky fusion of sci-fi tinged cowpunk and traditional surfabilly. Sort of a Link Wray meets Dick Dale by way of the Cramps. Psycho. -Rockabilly-online.com
