shockwave riderz - s/t 12in

from the ashes of garage thumpers MODEY LEMON comes pittsburgh, pa's newest sensation SHOCKWAVE RIDERZ......... not some crazed cough syrup drunk hiphop act, though that's kinda what their name makes me think, SHOCKWAVE RIDERZ are a synth / effects laden psych rock trio of warped pop experimentalists....

on their brand new self titled and self released three song (and one sided) 12 inch, SHOCKWAVE RIDERZ concoct some hazy and mesmerizing krautrock inspired warped psych burners....... a little bit of THE OH SEES if they were more hopped up on cocaine and NEU! or kinda like ONEIDA or CAVE high as hell doing synth punk covers..........   not sure where to file this one in my collection, other than right next to my turntable cuz i'm gonna play the shit outta this 12 inch til the grooves melt.......

anyone who reads this blog more than occasionally will know that SHOCKWAVE RIDERZ hit the sweet spot for me cuz they mix in the motorik pulse of krautrock, the fierce stomp of proto punk, the lysergic solos of psych and a touch of the avant with yer layers of noisy stretched out jams......and i'm totally sold.

these three songs barely extend past ten minutes, but that my friend is the only short coming with this 12 inch - the brevity.  i need a full length from SHOCKWAVE RIDERZ now........

totally fucking recommended.   this is gonna seep into yer ears and make you hit repeat.......

LISTEN TO THE 12" BELOW......
