I thought I’d have a peek inside of Georgia Barbershop’s garage and their second album, which was released earlier this year. It’s called “Borough In Twenty” and is just as splendidly rough and messy as the first song from the album “Blast Oyster” hinted, when I wrote about it a little more than a year ago. Here are two songs:

New single from the band Georgia Barbershop, “Blast Oyster”. The last time we met them they appeared like the punk cousins to the bands from “Nuggets From the Psychadelic Era”, who someone had secretly recorded while they were rehearsing in a shed. Now they have moved from the shed to a furnished garage and installed more modern recording equipment. But it’s still rock’n’roll and energy, and they sound a bit like an early New Wave-band  with some britpop attitude. A new album is coming up within short.

It sounds like an old cassette tape demo recording from the seventies or eighties by an English garage- or punk band. Often I find it hard to hear the lyrics from the somewhat can-sounding vocals. It’s straight, simple rock riffs without detours and extravagance. A combination I probably wouldn’t have chosen for my music menu if it hadn’t jumped into my inbox. But it feels good listening to this, and my foot starts moving with the rough guitar rhytms. And when the bass starts pumping with a wavy sound and is followed by the catchy guitar figure in “Trees Passing”, it’s time to surrender. The band’s name is Georgia Barbershop, the album “It’s Alright, It’s Okay, It Only Took Seven Years” is their debut and they are now on their way working with their second album.
