A few weeks back I got the awesome new album from one of Chicago's finest rock and roll bands The Goldstars. It is called Purple Girlfriend is filled with a dozen tracks of hook-laden garage-rock mayhem, complete with grinding Farfisa organ. Taking their cues from from the Nuggets era of the mid 1960's, the band hammers away and bangs out three minute long blasts from the past that are really quite refreshing to these ears. Despite a slight update to their traditional sounds, it's just good old-fashioned rock and roll played by former members of longstanding Chicago groups The New Duncan Imperials and Poi Dog Pondering.
Purple Girlfriend is out now on Pravda Records. RIYL: The Mooney Suzuki, Raconteurs, The Hives, garage rock revival bands, etc...
