We, who have waited so long, are finally repaid!<\/p>\n<p>The basic formula is classic Garage Punk but with influences from 60s to 70s effectively and effortlessly added to the mix!<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t stay still while listening to the &#8216;Skulls And Dolls&#8217; songs!!  If you also consider that its recording took place at the Atom&#8217;s Mansion with the support of the prestigious Elfo Studio, then you get the whole picture &#8211; sharp riffs and a wild fuzz based sound!<br \/>\n<b><i>REVIEWS<\/B><\/I><BR><BR><\/p>\n<p><b><i>THEE PSYCHEDELICATESSEN 31\/03\/2018<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>New from Area Pirata Records, the home of Italian Garage Rock, comes the debut album from fuzz fans The Scrubs. Rooted in classic Garage\/Punk, The Scrubs effortlessly mix together 60s Beat and Garage influences with an harder edged 80s Punk Rock snarl to create a very modern sounding Rock n Roll record that pulls together groovy, Nuggety retro vibes and electrifying punky riffage in a mess of sound that just don&#8217;t quit movin&#8217; your feet. Touching base with fuzzed up Garage\/Punk greats such as the Flamin&#8217; Groovies, The Damned, The Fuzztones, The Sonics, The Gravedigger Five and The Stooges among others, The Scrubs prove that primitive wild and raw Garage Rock never ages, adhering firmly to the tried and tested maxim &quot;if it ain&#8217;t broke, don&#8217;t fix it&quot; as they tear through 14 tracks in a fast and furious 25 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>After a well received debut single a few years back, The Scrubs have spent studio time honing their raw and urgent sound into the cohesive new LP Skulls And Dolls. Packed full of blistering Garage\/Punk, this ain&#8217;t going to win prizes for pushing at musical boundaries but for fans of the genre it&#8217;s a thrill ride though familiar surroundings. What Skulls And Dolls lacks in originality is amply balanced by the sheer exuberance of the songs and the band&#8217;s obvious love of the music they play&#8230;&#8230;..from the jumping album opener &#8216;Misery Girl&#8217; through to the swaggering &#8216;This Bag Is Not A Toy&#8217;, The Scrubs ain&#8217;t shy showing off the influence of 60s Beat bands, American Garage\/Psych and the Bluesy Rock n Roll of the Stones and Pretty Things have had on their sound. Check it out People, it&#8217;s a really cool record.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Germ&aacute;n Ram&iacute;rez &#8211; MENTES DE &Aacute;CIDO 31\/03\/2018<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Totalmente entusiasmado con esta &oacute;pera prima. Que sensaci&oacute;n m&aacute;s fant&aacute;stica cuando escuchas un disco que va directo al meollo del asunto. Es lo que tiene el garage rock, que a veces da en el clavo. Pero al ser un g&eacute;nero tan saturado, no siempre se encuentran discos que despierten esa sensaci&oacute;n. Por lo que muchas veces, estas peque&ntilde;as gemas pasan inadvertidas en un mundo donde predomina la repetici&oacute;n de esquemas, el postureo visual y las modas por temporadas. <em><strong>The Scrubs<\/strong><\/em> ofrecen una aut&eacute;ntica maravilla de disco, que retro trae a aquellos peculiares a&ntilde;os ochenta con todo el revival garagero.<\/p>\n<p>Esta jovenc&iacute;sima banda italiana, procedentes de los alrededores de Lodi, se estrenaron con un sencillo. Este conten&iacute;a los temas &quot;<em><strong>Please Go Out<\/strong><\/em>&quot; y &quot;<strong><em>Hey Girl<\/em><\/strong>&quot;. Fue editado por la discogr&aacute;fica <strong><em>Area Pirata<\/em><\/strong>. Encuadrada esta disquera en los sonidos sesenteros, la psicodelia y el garage rock de todo el pa&iacute;s. Su creaci&oacute;n fue a principios del 2001, y sin duda est&aacute;n acaparando gran atenci&oacute;n musical con ciertos sonidos. Solo hay que ver algunos de sus pr&oacute;ximos lanzamientos, con leyendas del garage italiano como<em><strong> The Sick Rose<\/strong><\/em>. Estos temas por parte de <em><strong>The Scrubs<\/strong><\/em>, se grabaron en los Elfo Estudios y se editaron en enero del 2016. Tras una serie de conciertos para presentar el sencillo, deciden preparar el material para su primer disco. <em><strong>Skulls And Dolls<\/strong><\/em> ha sido editado en febrero del 2018. De nuevo grabado en los Elfo Estudios y producido por <strong>Alessio R<\/strong>. Estos catorce temas comprimidos en poco menos de media hora son pura dinamita roquera. Sinceramente, hac&iacute;a mucho tiempo que no escuchaba nada de este g&eacute;nero tan apetecible como este peque&ntilde;o artefacto sonoro. La formaci&oacute;n de <em><strong>The Scrubs<\/strong><\/em> var&iacute;a seg&uacute;n cada tema, siendo <strong>Fuzzy Al<\/strong> y <strong>Max Robbi<\/strong> los &uacute;nicos participantes que repiten en todos los temas.<\/p>\n<p>El estilo de esta joven formaci&oacute;n es fresca y directa. Heredera de los esenciales comienzos de <em><strong>The Miracle Workers<\/strong><\/em>. De hecho, tienen caracter&iacute;sticas similares aunque tambi&eacute;n tengan influencias de <em><strong>The Fuzztones<\/strong><\/em>, <strong><em>The Sonics<\/em><\/strong> o <em><strong>The Chesterfield Kings<\/strong><\/em>, entre muchos otros. Comienza el disco con &quot;<em><strong>Misery Girl<\/strong><\/em>&quot;, pildorazo tremendo de garage punk. Continua con &quot;<em><strong>Blue Eyed Rat<\/strong><\/em>&quot;, corte de sonido beat super marchoso. &quot;<em><strong>My Skull<\/strong><\/em>&quot; es puro garage rock de la vieja escuela, sonido The Sonics total. &quot;<em><strong>Je Suis Ton Frer&eacute;<\/strong><\/em>&quot; es un corte de garage muy b&aacute;sico, cantado en franc&eacute;s. Igual de b&aacute;sico es &quot;<em><strong>Why Do You Hate Me So Much<\/strong><\/em>&quot;, toda una fiesta de sonidos sesenteros. Anfetam&iacute;nico y cavern&iacute;cola es el corte titulado: &quot;<em><strong>Hurricane And Baby Doll<\/strong><\/em>&quot;. Sonidos de garage rock cavernoso resuenan en &quot;<em><strong>Children Insane<\/strong><\/em>&quot;, fant&aacute;stico corte. La &uacute;nica versi&oacute;n incluida en <em><strong>Skulls And Dolls<\/strong><\/em> es &quot;<em><strong>Be A Caveman<\/strong><\/em>&quot;, correspondiente al combo <em><strong>The Avengers<\/strong><\/em>. Ecos de los noventa suenan en &quot;<em><strong>Crocodile Jack<\/strong><\/em>&quot; y &quot;<em><strong>Horses And Bitches<\/strong><\/em>&quot;. Temas en la l&iacute;nea de <em><strong>The MonoMen<\/strong><\/em>, por ejemplo. El garage cl&aacute;sico de los a&ntilde;os sesenta vuelve con la estupenda &quot;<em><strong>GoalKeeper<\/strong><\/em>&quot;. Pura acci&oacute;n musical y diversi&oacute;n es &quot;<em><strong>Pussy Pepper and Cheese<\/strong><\/em>&quot;. Pasando hacia un momento m&aacute;s relajado con &quot;<em><strong>Sunny Day<\/strong><\/em>&quot;, donde el pop rock sixtie tiene cabida. Terminamos con &quot;<em><strong>This Bag Is Not A Toy<\/strong><\/em>&quot;, dejando este disco un gran sabor de boca en todo su recorrido. Esperemos que tengan esta formaci&oacute;n una buena repercusi&oacute;n, porque con tal debut se lo merecen con creces. Un gran acierto por parte de <strong>Area Pirata<\/strong>, enhorabuena!! <\/p>\n<p><b><i>Bertrand Tappaz &#8211; 09\/04\/2018 &#8211; VOIX DE GARAGE GRENOBLE<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Il est tr&egrave;s r&eacute;ussit ce 1er album ! Un pied dans la tradition (reprise de Be A Caveman) et un dans la modernit&eacute; (cf. la pochette, ou ce son de guitare sec qui peut se rapprocher de celui des Subsonics avec cependant une approche musicale diff&eacute;rente). Le dosage est minutieux sans trop ni d&#8217;un c&ocirc;t&eacute;, ni de l&#8217;autre.<br \/>\nOn se rapproche pas mal de la vague 80 du Revival Garage Punk, avec l&#8217;orgue fa&ccedil;on Farfisa, la Fuzz, les sources d&#8217;inspirations 60&#8217;s Beat \/ Garage \/ Pop&#8230;<br \/>\nMais les Scrubs pratiquent &ccedil;a avec une petite retenu qui les sort du c&ocirc;t&eacute; r&eacute;tro forever. &Ccedil;a se joue &agrave; rien, le dosage est simplement assez diff&eacute;rent : des mid tempo surtout, pos&eacute;s, parfois languides, m&ecirc;me si ils peuvent acc&eacute;l&eacute;rer aussi. La Fuzz est assez r&eacute;gl&eacute;e au minimum afin que le son de la guitare reste tr&egrave;s distinctif et m&eacute;lodieux. Les c&oelig;urs sont pos&eacute;s le plus souvent de fa&ccedil;on discr&egrave;te, on sait qu&#8217;ils sont l&agrave; mais ils ne s&#8217;imposent pas&hellip; Mais attention quand il faut balancer une pure d&eacute;charge de Garage Punk les Scrubs sont l&agrave; aussi. Mais ils ne le font jamais en for&ccedil;ant le passage &agrave; coup d&#8217;&eacute;paule, plut&ocirc;t en livrant un titre ultra catchy et distingu&eacute; !<br \/>\nVoil&agrave; pourquoi ce 1er album et ses 14 chansons se d&eacute;guste avec d&eacute;lectation parce que les Scrubs sont capable de se diversifier et donc le disque s&#8217;appr&eacute;cie du d&eacute;but &agrave; la fin et retour !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CD digipack<br \/>\nFebruary 2018<br \/>\n<i>Circulation: 500 copies<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":73660,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1992],"class_list":{"0":"post-49471","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-cd-digipack-en","7":"product_tag-garage","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"acf":{"etichetta":"Area Pirata","peso_imballato":95,"progrssivo":"","data_uscita_disco":null,"recensioni":"","interviste":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.areapirata.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/49471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.areapirata.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.areapirata.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.areapirata.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.areapirata.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/49471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.areapirata.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.areapirata.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.areapirata.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=49471"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.areapirata.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=49471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
