Holy Smoke is the great first single by Twister, a glorious concoction of Powerpop, Power Boogie and Glammy Proto Punk. The performance is as tough as nails, full of metallic clanging guitars, cutting cowbell and crunching handclaps. The whole performance is tight as hell and the superb vocals are close to what The Radio Stars were doing around the same time. Although extra trebly, the sound slices through the vinyl as if it was butter. “We thought it was a great and as we recorded it, it sounded great. Trouble is RCA didn't want to spend much so they gave us a totally inexperienced producer/engineer (Chris Neal) who played everything back through the big monitor speakers in the studio as we recorded...Result was a recording that sounded pretty tinny when played back through anything less than 1000 watts..” (MD) The B side Midnite has that Aussie styled Daddy Cool Eagle Rock/Hi Honey Ho guitar motif. If nothing else these guys had real taste. All 4 sides they released are up there with the best of what Australia had to offer in the 70s. They must have been a blistering live act
