Number 10/ Crazee
Got Kinda Lost, 2018
8/10
The Got Kinda Lost label comes through again with another first time US pressing of an early Giuda record, and this time it’s their 2nd single that sees its first repress since 2012.
“Number 10” starts the listen with a snappy and thumping proto-punk feels that’s got a sing-along appeal with plenty of gritty ideas amid the glam and pub-rock tendencies that instantly make this anthemic tune memorable.
“Crazee” resides on the B-Side and brings intricate guitar work alongside a ‘70s swagger that’s brief but exciting in its upbeat and peppy landscape where retro fun and riff heavy ideas unfold in just over a minute.
This one’s limited to just 700 copies (500 on black, 200 on orange-gold), so if names like Wayne Kramer, Gary Glitter, and Dr. Feelgood strike a chord, it would be wise to familiarize yourself with these Rome rockers.
Travels well with: The Dickies- I Dig Go-Go Girls/The Dreaded Pigasaurus; The Blankz- I’m A Gun/Bad Boy
