Dammit, I’ve been waiting for a new band to come along whose influences are firmly entrenched in the early and mid-nineties. Enough of this electro-clash and 80’s revival bullshit, and more rock! Giddy Motors, a threesome from London, have listened to some Jesus Lizard, they’ve listened to the collective works of Steve Albini (Big Black/Shellac), they’ve listened to some Tar, and just like the rest of the bands mentioned, they’ve definitely listened to some Black Sabbath. From all of this hodge-podge comes something new and exciting instead of regurgitation. Sometimes they come at you with straight-forward rock numbers, and other times will have them infusing Minutemen-style funk or the occasional onslaught of horns into their music. If you’re looking for some quality rock music and not just the next flavor of the month, Giddy Motors may just be the band for you. Highly recommended.
