DJ Sid Presley presents...

Les Grys-Grys (France) - Whoa ! Is there any other word to effectively describe this assault on the ears ? Its the sound of suburban frustration taken out on unsuspecting punters at the local dancehall circa 65, but served up on black was today for everyone to marvel at .

The debut single from The Stones-aping quintet from Montpellier, France is Only a pair of covers but that just adds to the R&B authenticity, doesnt it ? The Masters Apprentices get done over on the A-Side, with everything turned up into the red . The unintelligible slurring vocal is the only thing stopping in from being world-beating . Meanwhile their other cover, of the Jimmy Hughes ( via The Spectres ) classic, is brazen : they speed things up, completely alter the lyrics just for fun, and basically spin it into Back From The Grave worthy garage punk gold . A provocative and unhinged beginning . Based on this evidence, our world is theirs for the taking.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...Grys-Grys are comically shit hot...everyone that's seen them live knows that...but let's go to Boston for confirmation:

"They are monsters!!" JJ Rassler - DMZ
