It's summer. The sun's out, the beach is packed and the factor 50 is essential!
Actually, it's still March, it's pretty grim weather wise in
Chorley and there ain't a grain of sand to be seen. Suntan lotion not needed.
But today's song will inject a burst of sunshine into your day.
The Hawaiians are Beppo, Paul, Jens Dance and Juke. They're a 4 piece pop punk powerhouse from Westerkappeln in Germany who've released a couple of albums; Teenagers Love (2003) and Hula On Mars (2007). They cherry pick the best bits of bands like The Ramones and The Beach Boys, play catchy as fuck songs with titles such as My Girl's Radioactive, Monsters From The Sea, Vampire Girl etc and to be honest, I wish I'd discovered them 16 years ago. I'm late to the party and what a party it is.
Fortunately, their new 7", Four Headed Shark Attack, surfaced from the depths of the internet and grabbed my attention. It's available from Kamikaze Records (as well as the gloriously named title track you also get Fourty Feet Spider and Bats From Outer Space). It's mixed & mastered by Perry Leenhouts of The Travoltas and it's terrific. https://www.kamikaze-records.de/shop/home.cfm?lang=en&p=212
Possibly the best song of this kind since The Queers were in their pomp? This is Four Headed Shark Attack...
