‘Weed for The Parrots’
Luv Luv Luv Records
The fact that the sound of the 60s still resonates with teenagers to this very day can only be testament to the mighty garage genre. It’s a steady diet of lo-fi psych that seems to keep giving and rightly so.
The Parrots here are no strangers to this musical phenomenon. Brought up on small plates of the good stuff, these Spanish amigos have not only masterminded the fuzzed out, reverbed, laid-back sounds we associate with the classic nuggets of yesteryear, they also know how to smash it out live. Proof of this has been witnessed by many willing to dance like they are stuck in an earthquake at their own weekly parties, whatever country they choose to squat. Including us.
Live is where it’s at for this trio and ‘Weed For The Parrots’ feels like it’s been recorded straight to tape in your dad’s shed. It kicks off with the jangling riffs and upbeat tremors of ‘Terror’, closing sharply following a minute’s worth of garage gold that leaves you feeling like you have been cheated. This craving is made better with the stomping bass lines of ‘White Fang’ that jams into a frenzy fronted by Diego García’s wails, which leads superbly into a psychedelic riff akin to a valium rush from their flagship tune ‘To The People…’.
This come down doesn’t last long though, their cover version of the Almighty Defenders’ ‘All My Loving’ tips the scales as the most upbeat track on this EP. It’s one of the highlights in their live show and a closer at that. Pushed to 11, this party choon could make a room full of people explode and that is exactly what is does. As an incendiary tool, it’s their most potent track on the album in comparison to the ‘I’m Not Alone’ – a track that feels like school just ended, or the campfire sounds of ‘Wild’ that sees bassist Alex de Lucas take the mic in a stripped down, marshmallow dripping lo-fi ender.
As far as debut’s go, this is a rock n’ roll peach. We can’t wait to see what they have in store next.

If there’s one edit you should watch ahead today’s GSD malarkey it’s Mike Arnold’s full part from the Skateboard Cafe’s ‘Alfresco’ flick. Edit of the Week.
Dom Henry‘s new Politic edit got the tongues wagging ou there, and rightly so.
Across the pond, Birdhouse ripper Clive Dixon dropped a killer new part.

Clive Dixon’s latest full length edit has pretty much everything you would want to see in a full part, but this ridiculous kick flip towed from a motorbike steals to the show on the gif front.
This was the most shared in this week’s daily gifs on our Tumblr page, follow it for the best tricks on the web.

This week’s useless skateboard invention comes in the form of the FlappyBoard. Why man-handle it with a mallgrab when you can just fold it and put it in your rucksack? It could certainly work for the older folk who still love street skating at 40 but feel too embarrassed to be carrying a rig about town.
In all seriousness though, this is yet another crock of absolute crap that will never take off but you have to admire the fact that some students worked out how to engineer paper, plastic and air to form this foldable skateboard as part of their University project.
