TOUGH AGE - I Get The Feeling Central LP

Highly recommended.

Nicely priced. One copy only. From the label who brought us Dumb, Kamikaze Nurse, Meisha and the Spanks, Peach Kelli Pop et al.

This twelve-song collection is built on the bedrock of scuzz pop - simultaneously sweet and ear-splittingly loud - but these old dogs have dug deep and taught themselves some new tricks.

Tough Age level up with a luster of supercharged sugar-rush fuzz. The album’s breadth of styles follows in the tradition of A Quick One / Sell Out-era The Who with the scorched garage moves of “It’s My Pride”-era The Guess Who.

Meanwhile, the bubblegum sounds of songwriters named Tommy and jangling genius of New Zealand’s Flying Nun roster continue to hover on the horizon.
