The Morlocks<\/strong> are back! <\/p>\n In 2015 lead singer Leighton Koizumi<\/strong> rebooted The Morlocks with a whole new line-up. Plus, the band is now based in Germany. Rating: 8\/10 <\/p>\n
\nAfter a successful first in Italy in December 2015, the band recorded a new 7-inch at "El Monte Studios" in Dortmund. The two-song masterpiece includes a really scary monster version of the 60’s Garage Punk Classic ‘Hang Up<\/strong>‘ by The Wailers<\/strong> in which Koizumi demonstrates his talent in taking a cover song and making it his own. Always remaining true to the original, The Morlocks’ version often surpasses it. In this case, the original is outmatched with sheer brutality; walls of fuzz, violent screams and vocals reminding of Lux Interior<\/strong> result in goosebumps of fear for the listener.
\nThe second song, ‘Time To Move<\/strong>‘ is written by Leighton himself. Initially, it gives the impression of a Rolling Stones<\/strong> song with a very classy intro. However, soon enough, it turns into a song that is far from being called simply garage punk. The complexity of the guitars combined with sarcasm-dripping words catapult the song to a dimension somewhere in-between The Stones, Hanoi Rocks<\/strong> and T-Rex <\/strong>. <\/p>\n
