From the Acid Archives:
Appealing exercise in cool by lost-in-time pool party rockers. Genuine teenage punk that sounds more '66 (or '64 even when the sax player honks away) than '72 with snotty Jagger vocals, basic garage tracks and a real attitude. Recommended to fans of local Stones-inspired rockers, whose unglamorous lifestyle is clearly audible in the grooves. Originals all through, and not bad ones at that. I like this at lot, a good one to play when fed up with psychedelic pipe dreams. [PL]
From Diecastgarden:
Cool Stones-y garage punk tunes from Torrance/Manhattan Beach that must've sounded out of time by '73. The intro to one song here sounds way too much like "Stairway to Heaven" to have been a rip; must've just been one of those bad ideas that reaches critical mass and sprouts up on both sides of the Atlantic simultaneously (Reagan/Thatcher was a later example of this). The Jagger whine is particularly attractive, but that sax player - I mean, just who's kid brother/sister is that? Still, there's a quaint charm about it all that their more urbane cousins from this period (I'm thinking here of the NY Dolls, or even obscuros like Boston's Thundertrain or Hollywood's Berlin Brats) could never muster. I quote Fred Patterson (AKA Phast Phreddie), in Who Put the Bomp! Magazine:
"Regarding the album Have You Reached Yet? by Clap. These guys grew up in my neighborhood and are THE band of the local scene, although there are others . . . I saw them one time and they gave two guys a six-pack to take their clothes off on stage, which they did. Another time the lead singer wore a Nehru jacket and looked just like Sky Saxon."
