Terry Malts - Something About You 7.7/10

Terry Malts is an indie garage rock band from San Francisco, California. This track is taken from their album Killing Time which was released by Slumberland Records in 2012. At times the band sound like The Ramones fronted by Morrissey, at other moments like the Beach Boys running on high octane jet fuel. This track rocks around the clock with a cheery retro vibe and crooner vocals played at high speed with ultra fuzzy guitars. Singer Phil Benson doesn't tackle the big subjects here, this is a straight ahead love song with fairly repetitive lyrics ("I just wanna be with you") but there's just too much raw energy racing along in this track for that to be considered a drawback. These guys are at their best when they keep the chords and words stripped back to the minimum and let the heavily distorted guitars do the talking. All hail the fuzz.
