***SUSPECT PARTS (current and former members of THE BRIEFS, CLOROX GIRLS, MANIAC, RIPCHORD, RADIO DEAD ONES and RED DONS) is the brainchild of two exiled Americans, one Brit and a German who managed to tame their inner demons with buzzsaw punk/powerpop, a cotton candy-meets-razorblade concoction that goes down surprisingly smooth. Combining '60s pop and bubblegum with late '70s California beach punk and powerpop, Suspect Parts have something brewing that can't be ignored. The Seeds, the Kinks, the Knack and the Buzzcocks can be heard, as well as a little Nuggets, a little Star Spangles or Rezillos, a little Protex or Undertones, but with a modern touch. Backward-looking but forward-thinking '60s pop with a punk edge. Suspect Parts have released four 7" singles worldwide on indie labels like Deranged, No Front Teeth, Taken By Surprise, Hovercraft, and House Party. A cassette tape of all 4 singles was also released on Seattle's GGNZLA label plus some outtakes and extras on Berlin's Tape of Die label. Now, their self-titled full-length debut album is finally here. Recorded straight to analog tape in the negative 15 degree cold of a January in east Berlin. The album was engineered by SMALL SHOCK (of legendary Berlin punk band the Shocks). Ten songs, 24 minutes, a relentlessly catchy uppercut to the senses. No Export to Europe.
