Talk about a pleasant surprise. Here’s the first album by The Beatnik Termites in 18 (!) years. Despite the long hiatus, it’s not like the band ever truly disappeared as the band’s sound (old school pop punk meets doo wop meets bubblegum meets surf) lived on in heir apparents The Yum Yums and Masked Intruder. But still, what a welcome and impressive return. Sweatin’ to The Termites<\/strong> contains 13 originals that sound like pop punk covers of oldies but goodies from the fifties and sixties. It’s the kind of record that elicits an automatic response – depending on your inclinations: a smile, nodding or singing along, shakin’ your booty,\u00a0 starting a rock-‘n’-roll dance party, texting all your friends about it, finding places to order it right away, or all of the above. It’s all good fun, insanely catchy and it is easy to lose yourself in singing along (in my case badly out of tune) to the awesome vocal harmonies. Buy the LP now at Mom’s Basement Records.<\/p>\n
