Electric Eels - The Eyeball of Hell (1975-76)

Proto punk from 1975 - 76, the Electric Eels took

the blueprint of '60's fuzz garage and the attitude

and song writing of The Stooges 1st album to

produce these 2 minutes tunes of distortion and

boredom.

Raw fuzz guitar mixed up to ear-numbing levels

with primitive bass and drum, snotty vocals that

can just about hold the tune, to hear this in '75

must of been a shock to a world listening to Abba

and the Average White Band!

Please note that I said "the attitude and song writing

of The Stooges" - you know what this means, right?

This does not mean they are "the undiscovered Stooges"

or are indeed "the NEW Stooges" - there is only one band

and will only ever be one band that have that name.

The same goes for reviews that cannot make the difference

between being influenced by Hendrix and "being" the new

Hendrix - there is only one person and .....blah, blah, blah

- I am sure that every one can produce a list of names that

this applies to.

Lecture over, play some Electric Eeels.
