Switzerland’s The Monsters return with their new album and let loose a total garage riot.

On their new album, they blast straight out and mark their return with the frenetic Gimme Germs, a high-speed fuzz trash riot of a song. It marks the pace for much of the album; a total blast. It’s not all frantic t(h)rash though as they drop in more grooving riffs and rhythms, such as on recent single Dead. After the kind of ramped up fuzz mayhem that we’ve come to expect from them, it drops down into an almost Iggy Pop Passenger-style acoustic groove before signing off with one more blast.
