I Wanna Lick Your Mind

Two Japanese bands, both named after Flaming Groovies songs, take 'em to Coyote to record with Mariconda, boom, instant hit single. American Soul Spiders are Teengenerate before they became Teengenerate, or at least that's something I've heard somewhere before. Their song here is one of the greatest rock n roll songs ever put to wax*. The SuperSnazz song doesn't suck, either. *don't believe me, just listen.

"Stink!?"

SuperSnazz -

"Johnny"

Let It Up

I don't know all that much about SuperSnazz, only that Nørb mentioned them once in one of his zines, so the next time I saw one of their records I bought it. I guess now they sound like the Go Go's or something, but this early single is completely trashy and pretty fucking choice. The b-side instrumental, "Let It Up" (The Sharks, maybe?), sounds like it was recorded on a boom box, and the a-side sounds like the singer was in the next room, which actually isn't a bad idea.
