 29 more screeching pounders! June 7, 2008
Laszlo Matyas
It jumps! It shreds! It shouts! It rocks! The third CD volume of Crypt Records' fan-freaking-tastic Back From The Grave series is loaded with the awesomest garage punk ravers ever committed to vinyl. If you've ever heard any of the other volumes, you know what I'm talking about: This is the kind of gutbucket brilliance that puts other garage rock comps to shame. There's nothin' but snarl and fuzz as far as the eye can see. The amateurism is truly inspired, the melodies are brutally catchy, and the drums will melt your eyeballs. As for highlights... well, remember the Keggs? At the end of volume two (volume five on vinyl) the delivered the definitively awful (i.e., wonderful) "To Find Out." Well, they're back for a second round on this disc, serving up the mangled ballad "Girl" with pure corrosive genius. The Jesters Of Newport sound wicked cool on "Stormy," which mixes genuine menace with haunted house cheesiness. The Golden Catalinas' "Varsity Club Song" is violent and fun, and the Syndicate's "The Egyptian Thing" is full of raw fury. And how about that Bo Diddley (may he rest in peace) beat on "I Want You?" The Savoys sound ridiculously cool on "Can It Be," and the Treytones' "Nonymous" is as brutal as it is hilarious. The Moguls' "Another Day" keeps switching around, and the Puddin' Heads are- oh, enough with this. It's all wonderful! Get it!

I own volumes 1 and 2 (both outstanding)and I'm ecstatic I bought Vol.3! This CD is wild, quirky, teen rock created in the "garages" of America circa '63-67. I'm fascinated that these songs were even in existence when mainstream pop ruled the AM airwaves. The bands on this CD play rock for primal outlet, cathartic screamings,hell bent energy,and FUN! Check out The Keggs (Track 9) -- they sound almost out of tune and then the song comes together in what is one of my favorite tracks (they were big fans of The Kinks). I plan to buy all of Crypts'"BACK FROM THE GRAVE" recordings as long as they keep putting them out. These "Back From The Grave" collections are a fun, well put together look into an important part of American rock history. Even the liner notes on all of CRYPT'S CDs are insightful, honest, and a laugh riot.
 Underbelly of Sixties Rock March 21, 2004

This is a charming collection of obscure garage rock recordings from the sixties, providing 29 tracks and 71 minutes of raw teenage rock. The CD includes an informative booklet with pics of the artists and information on each of the tracks.Stormy by The Jesters Of Newport is a wild California crunch rocker with lovely organ, recorded in a backroom studio of a record store in Santa Clara. Livin' by The Henchman from Detroit is a lively little guitarfest, whilst Close That Door by The Tigermen has catchy hooks, cute harmonies and wild screams. The Aztex with The Little Streets Of My Town bring some folk rock to the proceedings - it's a fast number with jangling guitars and beautiful vocals. The Kid From Cinncy by The Hatfields is closer to pop though still fast and punky. Something Else by The Nobles is more subdued in the vocals but has deliciously explosive guitar breaks. The Shames contribute My World Is Upside Down and The Special One; theirs is a passionate flowing rock sound with strong lead vocal. The Keggs who contribute the track Girl, were obviously influenced by The Kinks, but the song is pleasant enough with great guitar touches. She Was Mine by The Beaux Jens start out as gentle pop but explodes into full rock glory midway through, a complex number with frequent tempo changes and passionate screams. Varsity Club Song by The Golden Catalinas is pure acid rock or an early manifestation of grunge, two decades ahead of time. Most of these tracks are short sharp numbers high on enthusiasm but not always strong on melody. Another way of looking at this music, is as Punk without the anger. The album certainly shows the underbelly of the Sixties in all its lively glory! Complete track listing: Stormy - Jesters of Newport/Livin' - The Henchmen/Close That Door - The Tigermen/The Little Streets Of My Town - The Aztex/The Kid from Cinncy - The Hatfields/Something Else - The Nobles/My World Is Upside Down - The Shames/Heart Filled With Love - Long John & The Silvermen/Girl - The Keggs/She Was Mine - The Beaux Jens/The Special One - The Shames/Can It Be - The Savoys/Varsity Club Song - The Catalinas/Say You Love Me - Billy & The Kids/Caroline - The Shandels/Mary Mary - The Shandels/Come On Mary -The Abandoned/Nonymous - The Treytones/The Egyptian Thing - The Syndicate/I Want You - The Tombstones/Another Day -The Moguls/Now You Say We're Through The Puddin' Heads/I Love You - The Worlocks/Look For Another Love - The Hush Puppies/Slide - The Bugs/My Baby's Barefoot - The Syndicate/If It's All The Same To You - The Bends/Hey Stop Messin' Round - The Hush Puppies/So Hard - The Cliques.

I've had volumes 3, 4, and 5 on vinyl since they came out . . .had no idea they were on CD as well. These garage monsters are guaranteed to blow the roof off the dump. The vinyl tracks were so good, I can only imagine what all the extra tracks on the CD sound like! If you like garage / punk / anything with energy and fun, grab this collection and regret that none of them ever made it big!

If your into garage rock this is the disc 3 is fun.the track beuax jens-she was mine,is great.This is some really rare stuff from the 60s. the song from the aztex-the little streets in my town is a amazing song, and only 100 where pressed in the 60s.This comp gets 100 miles from the mainstream of 60s music today.The inside has 24 pages of pictures, most bands are wearing suits and ties,not to many into the slopppy hippy thing.So if your into to todays deppresing sounds dont buy this.But if your into music from a more adventures time get this.Like song livin from track 3 of disc,have and have a good time!
