V/A- Kaminari 19 Japanese Garage Monsters LP.  Japan is a land of mystery, known for reinterpreting Western influences into self-made interpretations that are  many times done better than the artists they are interpreting.  And this compilation is proof of that. ‘Kaminari’ is a compilation put together by Toyozo of The Fadeaways and includes 19 bands that interpret all different types of rock ‘n roll including garage rock, sixties frat rock, garage punk, surf rock and bluesy rock ‘n roll. This excellent compilation calls to the current japanese underground and turns up a winner with new bands like Great Mongoose, The Whys, Mellviins!, Tomo And The Routes, The Fadeaways, Theee Bat, Stompin’ Riff Faffs, Go-Devils Shotgun Runners and more. Oh and the LP comes with a super cool cut out wrestling-like monster mask that you can cut out and play with while spinning this sucker. Nice packaging on this one. Import from Portugal.
