Earthquake! by The Sensational Second Cousins
Independent Future Recordings - IFR004 LP/ CD
OEH, IE, AH, OEH! WOOHOEE! Finally, it is there! The debut record of the most exciting rock ‘n roll duo Holland has brought forward for decades!! Live on stage already sounding like a bulldozer using just a guitar and a home-built drum-kit. Now they bring you something to blow you away at home as well. And that’s not just ‘cause of the fact that there is an incredible sax on a couple of songs. No, this is just 'cause of the fact that they're ‘simply the best, better than all the rest’. To quote Tina Turner.
The record kicks off with the swinging track ‘Move On’ and continues with instant rock ’n roll hits that easily could have come straight from the fifties! Songs like Honeybee, Can’t Wait For The Summer, Never Ever and Baby, Baby, Baby got the urgency that makes rock ’n roll the best music to listen’ to! They only let down the pace on a couple of tracks like ‘Tough Lover’, definitely the most mysterious tune we'll hear, or the driven Doin’ Time, a song about shooting your boss! What’ not to like....To sum it up, there’s something here to enjoy for all you Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Hasil, Adkins, Hank Williams or Bo Diddley fans! This is music played form the heart, with the right attitude: it's wild, direct and primitive!
And just when you might start feeling sad that the record has almost come to an end, the Sensational Second Cousins command you one more time to clap your hands, move those pants, stomp your feet and shake to the crazy beat! And that’s what this record is all about! Now: let’s SHAKE and cause an EARTHQUAKE!
