Even though it's just barely warm this lil' tape makes me wanna go Summertime ape!...yes, I said tape, unga-bunga...Orange Iguanas have cut to the juvenile core of great garage-pop on this six-song-slap...whispers of K Records songsmithery can almost be heard in a sonic-crush between Smith Westerns and the Epsilons...& bonus bops to this band's vocal group (take note everybody!), once we all start singin' along the song just sounds all the sweeter...the a-side makes this cat go a wee wilder than the flip but this cassette is a pure cruisin'-to-stay-cool soundtrack...gimme the heat and the beat, baby!
If ya need one of these suckers fer yer audio tape playback party device, rewind yerself right here

Trent Fox & the Tenants - Mess Around EP
And just when this man thought garagepunk was a goner, I hear a Mid-West heartbeat from Trent Fox & the Tenants...They got that filty'n'fun thing down baby, with snotty songs on a party platter made to shatter yer shimmy pretentions!
A very Black Lips-friendly sound, yet a bit more focused on the meat'n'potatoes subject matter & music of us sore losers...the a-side of this seven-incher sets the record straight with some traditional slop pop...the b-side gets a bit more adventurous but still socks ya with a wallop...5 frenzied songs in all!
Here's a taste, via live video of the title track:
Another fine vinyl vendible from Kind Turkey Records
