SUPERBEES
High Volume (Acetate)

One of the best garage bands in the game, The Superbees sound like a collision at a three way intersection between tour busses belonging to The Stooges, The Mortals and The Seeds. Don't worry about that last bus; The Superbees know way more than two chords, and they punch them as much as pick them, exploding with energy and the pure spirit of rock and roll in the ideal package, that of a band with a garage mentality and pro skills. There's a major league rocker here in "Girl From K.C.," and the band prove themselves able groove/riff-rockers on "Dirty." Throwbacks to more than one era, The Superbees have absorbed it all into one extremely compelling sound. Compelling as in "I feel strangely compelled to run up that wall, bounce off those people over there, those people over there, jump up and down frantically and see what the hell happens." You know, like you feel when you listen to the MC5 or the best of the bands that understood what made them tick. Here's another one that gets it.
