  • wraydioactiveWraydioactive! – The Wraylettes (Fyrbyrd Records)

    It’s four songs across a seven-inch vinyl EP and because it’s a homage to the late Link Wray(who deserves to be everybody’s Guitar God) played by the world’s only all-girl Link Wray tribute band, it sounds a lot like Link Wray.

    You should know that Link Wray was a man of varied talents. His 1958 hit “Rumble” was just one claim to fame. Not only was he The King of overdriven and distorted surf guitar instrumentals, he worked across swamp rock, country and rockabilly.

    On his one and only Australian tour, he pinned crowds to the back walls of venues like Sydney’s Metro Theatre with volume that would have put Thorpeyto shame.
