Kwyet Kings - Firebeat (1994 That’s Entertainment)












Norwegian masters of that 60’s garage sound. Swirling organ with ripping guitar, with a sound similar to the Fuzztones. Every song is a winner here, mostly originals with a few covers. They do a great version of Richard & The Young Lions “Open Up Your Door” and a version of the Firebeats “Let Me Tell You” whom I know nothing about but would love to hear more of them. I assume they were an Norwegian 60’s act. Anybody got the goods on these guys? I believe there is a snippet (after a long silence) at the end of track 10 on this cd that is the original “Let Me Tell You” by the Firebeats? At any rate this album is highly recommended for all garage aficionados out there, it will not disappoint. As far as I know this has been out of print for along time and, when it was in print it was difficult to find (at least in the states). If you enjoy this please do seek out their other releases as well, Singles ’N’ Shit, Been Where? Done What?, Cherrypie.
