Most retro acts try to duplicate the past -- but Get Three Coffins Ready isn't interested in mere restoration. Instead of driving the rock-instrumental styles of the '50s and '60s below the speed limit, the Coffins crew, who introduce this disc to the public at a Saturday, May 19, CD-release party at 3 Kings Tavern alongside Under the Drone and the Royal Aces, consistently keep the needle in the red.
Songs such as "Phantom Surf Party" feature all of the genre's stock features: echoey riffing that alternately growls and farts, fat bass lines, and pounding beats supplemented by more drum rolls than a military parade. Yet on the likes of "Backseat Rumble," with its hot-rod sound effects, and "The Overlook," which nods to The Shining, guitarists Gil Romero and Adam Hester, bassist Jeff Anton and drummer Rikki Styxx inject such elements with enough energy to blow the doors off most competing flashback bands.
This four-piece is Ready, willing and able.
