The Brentwoods - no idea what prompted me to buy this. Probably the lo-fi xeroxed black-and-white sleeve...and the cheap price tag obviously. One look at this and you knew exactly what youe were getting - rough, kitschy garage rock from an all-girl trio. Worst case scenario it would be a goofy mess; best case scenario, it would be entertaining and catchy too. Outside of the annoying two minute long fake newscast to start the song, the title track is pretty great and stupid at the same time; and exactly what you would expect - very primitive music, the same lyrics repeated over and over, and most importantly - kind of infectious. The B-side "Buri Buri USA" isn't nearly as good and musically is kind of a mess but I still sorta like it. Not bad for a random pick-up.
