It reads like a postmodernist poem, but these are the titles of the ten tunes on Flex, the latest record by British surf-punk five-piece Oh! Gunquit, founded over fifteen years ago by Tina Swasey (amazing vocals) and Simon Wild (equally amazing guitars). Not only is their characteristic idiosyncratic choice of subject present again, so is the energetic sound that does not shy away from influences of garage rock, psychobilly, and rhythm & blues. You know what to expect: rock ‘n’ roll full of storytelling and swagger, catchy and quirky, raw and raucous—your next party starts here.
Flex is out on vinyl LP through Beluga Records.
