ADQ (as we will know call them, as I am only willing to spell out their mouthful of a name once) are a buncha Italian cats – straight outta Bologna, matter of fact- who play instro-mental, garage rattle n’roll. Sometimes they flirt with 60’s style surf and spy-jazz guitars, as on the insanely titled “When Clint Eastwood Hurried Peyote”, and sometimes with Pussy Galore-esque fuck-blues (title track, “Go Apeshit”). Hell, sometimes they even throw in some hysterical-drunken-bitch screamin’. Anything goes with these cats, ya know. Mostly, tho, ADQ sound like they oughta be wearing masks. Zorro style would be good, possibly full-head gorilla jobs, maybe Mexican wrestler get-ups. They might also wanna think about being visually represented by cartoon motorcycles that talk, or perhaps chimpanzees in dresses. That’s the kinda music this is, dig? Fun and freaky. Closer “I’m Going to Put My Foot Down” is the real clincher, a twangy, Ventures-style instro-rocker that just tears it up, daddy-o, but if yer in the mood to just go ape for awhile, ya really can’t miss with these crazies, no matter where ya drop the needle. So to speak.
