The Toyotas: ... Make Headlines LP
— Price: 129 SEK

This item is no longer available, sorry!

Germany's THE TOYOTAS surely will make every garage punk gazette's front page with this wild and shredding platter. Head honcho of the 3-pack is DEAN DIRG's guitar swinger Claus-Daniel, who also provides all 12 songs with his ratty voice.
The "White Side" blasts out the fast and short tracks "Cars are not cool", "Get snotty with you" and "No one likes me messin' around", all well equipped with Daniel's typical chop chop guitar and sounding like a mix between punkier DEAN DIRG and THE INFECTIONS. "Got no car" and "Talk on the telephone", both underlayed with a spooky organ, could be rough demo takes of lost MANIKINS "Epileptic" songs, while supertune "Teenage nightmare" adds a good shovel of groovy 77-Punk to the whole thing.
The 6 songs on the "Black Side" were recorded in other session and are way more dirty and pushing. Again, "TV injection", "Lost in the city", "Pigswill U.K.", "Big mouth of the neighborhood" and "Obsolete machine" overhaul each other in a mud-splashing DEAN DIRG vs. MANIKINS staccato race. Hell, they all seem to have mixed up their fuel with some extra-catchy secret additive. And to demonstrate their love for good ol' English. Punk, the band finally throws in the slightly slower "Dead Joe Blogg", where the squeaking nasal voice reaches the top.
A short and hectic snot attack full of rough catchiness and a good sense of cool songs.
