This group of gutter sophisticates from Connecticut play a loose and dirty version of garage rock that harkens back to its glory days in the ’60s. But they are far from a retro act — Jacques Le Coque add just enough punk rock snot and ’70s hard rock, specifically in the solos from RJ DeAngelis, to make this fresh and exciting. It’s the type of music that will make you want to quaff cheap beers in some dive bar while the  band thrashes away on the stage in front of you.

They open with the strut of “Ain’t No Fun,” wherein lead vocalist Peter Martin Mazza lambastes a woman for harshing his buzz on life. “Suckers” picks up the pace and features the first of many fuzzed out solos, like on the next track “Can’t Be Alone,” which keeps the pace brisk and exciting. “Grow Up” is very catchy slice of garage-y power-pop, while “Burnin’ Alive” is a garage punk scorcher. “Quarter Mile” ends everything on a darker note.

These are just a few of the, ahem, “nuggets,” on display on this fun and exciting debut record that burns with youthful energy and bad attitude. This is a record that will get the party started, drink all your beer, and then sleep with your girlfriend, and for some reason, you won’t mind at all. Just dive in and let your id take control.
