artworkThis is the second single from the Tornadoes, now called the Hollywood Tornadoes. It is even coller than its predecessor, and might infectious. The A-side has never seen CD release, and was no on the album. Instead other overdubs and takes were used. Required listening.
Picks: The Gremmie - Part I, The Gremmie - Part II

Track by Track Review


The Gremmie - Part I dotdotdotdotdot
Surf (Instrumental)

This is one of the great singles. Part I launches into the riff and scene with great energy and fun. The beat is infectious, and the guitars raw. The single A-side is significantly different from the album version, as well as others that have appeared on comps, principally in the voices overdubbed.

The Gremmie - Part II dotdotdotdot
Surf (Instrumental)

This is the single B-side, better than the album version of the A-side, but less than the single A-side. Fine raw sax, chunky surf guitar, and rockin' party fun. This is rhythm dominated, with jam-based melody substitution, but it doesn't matter because it's so boss!
