Seeing the Beats shake it down at the Carousel Lounge is as close as you're likely to get to the days of teen canteens without a time machine. Likewise, their Get Hip debut is an energetic, bomp-ready simulacrum of the quintet's well-honed live show. With encyclopedic pop smarts cribbed from impeccable sources like the Nuggets box set, the Beats' hooks are time-tested, and their lyrical bent never strays from the gotta-get-some/can't-get-none cycle that often defines the young man's condition. "I'm the One" leads off the 12-song rotation with a punchy riff similar to the one that once drove the bridge of "You're Gonna Miss Me" and a sneering, call-and-response vocal that evokes Joe "King" Carrasco in a more punk rock context. Whether he's channeling the Kinks' London beat on "Lonely Side of Town," or the Standells' flake-off attitude on "I'll Walk Away," guitarist/singer Joe Emery is in his element. The Ugly Beats' secret weapon is dynamic drummer Stephen Austin, whose solid skills shine on this no-frills house recording. And let's not forget Jeanine Attaway, whose vintage Ace-Tone organ lines provide an air of Great Society authenticity. In nailing what's right and fun about garage rock revivalism without getting suffocated under the weight of nostalgia, Bring On the Beats! is a genre-specific standout that deserves to be heard beyond the city limits.

Friday, February 04, 2005 The Ugly Beats! "Bring on the Beats!" LP/CD (GH-1126) Get Hip Recordings January 2005 Superb folk-punk debut album from this killer Austin, Texas garage band who have seemingly come out of nowhere to deliver one hell of a Pebbles/Nuggets-inspired gem. Kudos to Get Hip Records for releasing this! Not only does it fit the more traditional garage sound of their label (ahem, Cynics, anyone?), but it's really, really good. Plus, The Ugly Beats got the goods to authentically deliver the sound the way it should be delivered, and from the grooves emitting from this particular release they appear that they were born to do just that. Really great, natural vocal harmonies, which in this day and age of often strained, forced, snotty or outright screaming vocals is really quite a rare thing, combined with the wonderful Farfisa work and jangly, melodic guitars, not to mention one of the best new band names to come along in quite some time, makes this one of the best new releases of 2005 (even if it does have a 2004 release date). So this is very re
