HOWLIN' ANDY HOUND
The Electric Dreams of... (Garage D'or Records)

Howlin' Andy Hound, former frontman and guitarist for Minneapolis' Viceroys, writes some of the meanest-sounding garage rock out there today. This music splutters and whines its way through coolly sleazy songs punctuated by enough repeats of the word "baby" and "oh yeah" to make me want to start the disc over just to count exactly how many times he uses the words-not that I have any complaints about it. I just like to count things. Accompanied by Jacques Wait on bass and Travis Smack Ramen on drums, this band is a must for aficionados of bands faithfully following in the tracks laid out by the MC5.
