(We Ain’t Got) Nothin’ Yet [year unknown; Mercury]

Blue Cheer’s biggest hit leads this split single, with the garage psych trading hard on the power of its raw-sounding electric guitar lead, though the bass gets a power-plugging solo of its own (while the guitar gets four or so in the ~4-minute run). The Blues Magoos back it with a considerably smaller hit, though it’s lathered up with quite a bit more psychedelia, bopping and grooving along in on poppy hooks and spangly chorus treatment. A nice pairing, though the shift in mood is more jarring than it would seem.

Acid Dad – 2Ci [2018; Greenway Records]

In this one-track single, Acid Dad plug out some high-polish garage rock with a twist of psychedelia, fuzzed vocals melding nicely with the bleariness of the guitar riffs and thumping drums. Though it basically circles in place for the full run, there are some nice licks thrown in, and it serves its purpose as an album teaser with no real problems.

Five Mile Smile – Boogaloo Blues [2015; self-released]

On their second single, the Irish group of Five Mile Smile pack just the title track, a blend of garage rock with bluesy psych, jamming loose while background “Whoo whoo!”s punctuate the guitar fuzz. Nice energy, good performances, and hooky melodies come together with a solid fusion, and while the preceding single has vanished from their BandCamp, this one’s still around for enjoyment, as of this writing.
