If you're looking for a loud, fuzzy, catchy-as-hell and at times abrasive record, look no further than Bangups EP "Ten Dollars An Hour." Hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Bangups consists of guitarist/vocalist Joey Dornbos and drummer Brent French. They've got that dirty, bluesy, early White Stripes thing going on, though with pop sensibilities reminiscent of The Strokes & The Animals. All of this makes for a very energetic listen.

If you're looking for a loud, fuzzy, catchy-as-hell and at times abrasive record, look no further than Bangups EP "Ten Dollars An Hour."

They've got that dirty, bluesy, early White Stripes thing going on, though with pop sensibilities reminiscent of The Strokes & The Animals. All of this makes for a very energetic listen.
One stand-out track is the foot-stomping "Sunburnt Love." This song centers on "Sweet Little Janie..." She's got "the jeans with the butterflies on the back pockets" that make the "boys' eyeballs pop out of their sockets." It's a dirty little tale of a young fellow's sexual encounters, the love that follows, and the inevitable break up; truly the makings of a typical youngster's summer. The snares just pound on the chorus, as the lyrics sing, "My sunburnt love died in the autumn rain.
Another notable track is an oddball tune titled, "Bible Camp." Musically, this sounds like a blues song. Lyrically, however, it's a full-out fundamentalist sermon. With a healthy dose of sarcasm, the words sound like they're spoken by some overprotective youth group leader. As the chorus prays, "Dear God, keep us safe on the road/Be with the kids and their chaperones...in Jesus' name amen/Now kids don't you dare forget this here bible church you represent...in Jesus' name amen."
This is the kind of music that Michigan, home to such greats as Iggy & The Stooges, Death, and The White Stripes, has used to smash a dent in rock n' roll history. Though Bangups have been around just a short time, they'll do their state proud if they keep cranking out albums like this one.-JS

Va Va Voom
Bangups Lyrics
You're a space-age mountain with a god on the top
There's a riot in my chest and they killed all the cops
I'm a holy mess believer in a tidal wave of feeling
Tigers in my kitchen, grizzlies on the ceiling
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah oh
My T.K Hulin's screaming
You're looking so appealing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah oh
My T.K. Hulin's screaming
You're looking so appealing
You got the va va voom
Making my heart go boom
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom
You got the va va voom
Making my heart go boom
Va va va va va va
You're the seismic spike shaking up my volcano
The headline news, the F-6 tornado
My nuclear bomb, my apocolyptic dream
My zoos on the lose, my eyes are glued to the screen
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah oh
My T.K. Hulin's screaming
You're looking so appealing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
My T.K. Hulin's screaming
You're looking so appealing
You got the va va voom
Making my heart go boom
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom
You got the va va voom
Making my heart go boom
Va va va va va va
You gotta be on the sweet spot
You've got to get at what's coming through my power line
Like a thrill ride
Charging through my melody
Oh, so powerfully
The big bad wolf in me
Howlin' for you
You got the va va voom
Making my heart go boom
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom
You got the va va voom
Making my heart go boom
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom
You got the va va
You got the va va voom
You got the va va
You got the va va voom
You got the va va
You got the va va voom
You got the va va
You got the va va voom

on Buddy Holly's Ghost
it's a great and catchy song, but I still can't figure out what the meaning is.
