The late Seventies garage punks revered their Sixties forerunners, having been hipped to their culturally distant cousins when Patti Smith’s guitarist Lenny Kaye assembled the Nuggets compilation of forgotten trash. In a world where time has been kaleidoscoped by the instantaneous availability of everything, the fact that The Fleshtones still sound like 1976 doing 1967, thirty-five years after forming, seems barely noteworthy.
Here, Kaye himself trades licks with his spawn, and though Peter Zaremba’s voice is somewhat wedding singer shot, The Fleshtones’ faith in fuzz guitars still fizzes.
