Vancouver’s best garage punk band has just released their second album! The BAD BEATS “Off The Hook” will be available on all formats courtesy Germany’s SOUNDFLAT RECORDS. 12 blistering tracks of fuzz and organ, the album consists of mostly originals but also features covers of The Sparkles classic “Ain’t No Friend Of Mine”, a Townes Van Zandt song and the title track which is a reworking of “Off The Hook” by the early Stones. Vocalist Cam Alexander injects a soulful feel into these straight ahead rockers. The LP artwork is by the legendary Darren Merinuk. You can check it out here on the BAD BEATS bandcamp…
