CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com The Stooges and MC5 started the Motor City's musical revolution in the late '60s with an approach to rock & roll that was primal, raw, and utterly untamed. Sure it was fueled as much by illicit substances as social revolt, but in this nasty, distorted mess was the nascence of punk rock. While the Go, Detroit's latest bunch of ill-coiffed garage-rock malcontents, don't exactly espouse the same sort of social revolution MC5 once rallied around, musically they fly their freak flag with the same snot-nosed vigor. Whatcha Doin' is exactly what primitive R&B-rock & roll sounds like in the hands of five young white boys who have a keen appreciation of fuzz-toned guitars and a knack for great hooks. The production, courtesy of Outrageous Cherry's Matthew Smith, is as raunchy and retro as the band's old-school rave-ups and definitely highlights the vocals and buzzing guitars over the simple, sloppy rhythm section. It would be too easy to peg the Go as merely derivative throwbacks if the songs weren't so damn infectious. Nearly every tune is brimming with an undeniably catchy chorus, turning every rough nugget into a gleaming gem. --Adem Tepedelen Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBuy this record 10/18/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album sounds like a greatest hits record from one of the best 60's rock bands you've never heard of. Except it was released in 1999. In other words, it's an incredible piece of rocknroll from start to finish. Not a bad song in the bunch. Any fan of real, raw, basic rock and roll will love this disc. You like the Stones? Buy this record. You like the MC5? Buy this record. Hendrix, the Doors, Zeppelin, the Who, old Aerosmith, hell, even Guns n' Roses; if this is the kind of rock you appreciate you need to buy this album. All of the basic elements for a great rock n' roll experience are here and you'd be a fool to pass it up. Word of advice, get the vinyl if possible. Not only is there an extra rockin' track, but this stuff just sounds right coming to you via a phonograph needle." For A Quick Fix... Trickery Poison | Seattle, WA | 12/09/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "In the vein of poorly recorded garage rock anthems, The Go should satisfy your every lo-fi rock desires. Just about every song seems like it could have been on Iggy and the Stooges' RAW POWER, it hits that same sweet spot with easily accesible, although predictable tracks. If you just want to rock out, then look no further. STANDOUT TRACKS: Meet Me At the Movies, You Can Get High, Get You Off, Tired Of the Night, Whatcha Doin'." How cool is this? Gavin Rich | Liverpool, New York United States | 04/26/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "They have a name like a long forgotten mod band, and the album cover looks like a relic from the dying days of indie rock, when Thee Hypnotics, Spacemen 3, Union Carbide Productions and the Loop were spewing out Stooges sound alikes and nobody had ever heard of the cancer that is Courtney Love. The first song has a first term Nixon era Detroit sound, but after that come note perfect recreations of Status Quo circa Piledriver. Play Summer Sun Blues for any of your 40 year old British friends and watch their eyes light up."
