THE CYNICS - Creepin'

Let's also open the chapter on Cynics. For my personal taste in garage-garagepunk, among the best of the best.

The foliage that covered the tracks of Blue Train Station flourishes exuberantly on the second album of the Pittsburgh band, rich in folk-punk blossoms that make it one of the gems of the Eighties garage discography. The quintet's songwriting has refined, further infected with the dust of the forefathers, creating an album where covers and originals chase each other seamlessly in a merry-go-round of jingle-jangle arpeggios, showers of maracas, scuffs of blues-harp, and fuzz abrasions dominated by the ever persuasive voice of Michael Kastelic.
