Wake Up, Legend

Dominated by Thomson's deliriously snotty vocals, which fight an ongoing death match with the rollicking rhythms and guitar and organ riffs so steeped in the garage aesthetic that you can smell the Valvoline, keepers such as "Don't Make It Go Too Fast," "Felt Like Being a D—-" and the lead-off track "Monsters" comprise the sort of timeless punk that could hail from any era or locale — San Jose in the '60s a la the Count Five, Cleveland in the '70s like the Dead Boys or Boston in the '80s like the Lyres.
