The Peawees — One Ride (Wild Honey)

A trio of surf rock chords stakes its claim, followed by a lupine howl. The Peawees’ “The Wolf” is either the tightest goof ever played or dead serious about its garage rock business, wolves and all.

The Peawees are from Italy, with roughly three decades of that old-time rock and roll behind them. One Ride is their seventh album, a taut, wholly enjoyable punk/garage/surf/soul juggernaut, which sounds like the Seeds, the Electric Prunes, Wimple Witch and the Sonics mashed up in a blender.  They’re like the Nuggets Box Set come to life, complete with dark shades and leather jackets.   

“The Wolf” is maybe my favorite, delivering its razor-sharp garage-soul rant with an endearing, b-movie horror eccentricity. The guitars stab like knives, the vocals rasp with blue-eyed soul fervor and everybody in the band caterwauls like a pack of wolves. What more could you ask for?

But let’s say you don’t dig furry energy. You ask, does this band have to say about that age-old garage rock trope, driving a car?  And indeed it does. Rollicking “Drive” takes the hotrod out for one more spin, car stereo blaring. Romantic disappointment? Life in freefall? Get in the car, man. “And I drive and drive and drive, drive until the sun is gone, to a place I don’t recall.”

Or what about that other well-established convention in rock ‘n roll, the dangerous but lovely femme fatale? The Peawees have got you covered with “She Cries as She Kills,” a slanting, rushing, psychedelic garage rampage about a girl with secrets, with complications, with (we assume) a killer body.  It’s fire, it’s shadow, it’s a forbidden passion wrapped in 1960s soul call and response. She’s addicted to pain, but who’s addicted to her?

By now, you may have gathered that the Peawees aren’t exactly breaking new ground. But this, and I can’t emphasize it enough, IS NOT A KNOCK. One Ride is about as much fun as you can have with a turntable and a couple of speakers. It’s tightly played and cleverly written, not a hair out of place as it curves around another corner at 90 m.p.h. If you ever dug that crazy 1960s dayglo garage, you will like this, too, I promise.

3/3/23.

DIG! Records (Virginia) is releasing the new LP from Kansas City, Missouri band The Whiffs. This has a definite retro feel - think of the power-pop of early Joe Jackson. But it is also firmly planted in modern day power pop in the vein of Gentleman Jesse, Uni Boys, The Peawees or Jiffy Marx. And don't forget that amazing Titan Records boxset from Numero Group.

Honestly, the list could go on and on. It's interesting to go back into the archives of this blog and see just how much power pop has been posted.
