As evidenced from their LP also from this year, Philadelphia’s Honey Radar seem to have piles of these killer lo-fi jams. A huge hit in my alternate universe. When issued with the challenge of cranking out a single of “nothing but the jams,” Jason Henn (aka Honey Radar) certainly delivered. Chock full of hits and (possibly?) his best single to date, “Ignore The Bells” is the second in what is hopefully a long series of EPs for Chunklet Industries.
with two eps of intriguing garage rock, a cut above the rest of that scene as it exists today at least by my measure, perhaps a hold over from last decade’s weirdo garage punk heyday riding out the very last ripples in rather impressive fashion or just unboxing dusty decade old demos, woven into these short n sweet quirky damaged pop tunes channeling obvious favorites – with influences of the VELVETS and STOOGES and SYD BARRETT by way of FLYING SAUCER ATTACK and GUIDED BY VOICES and SIMPLY SAUCER – tough to differentiate between “JASON HENN” and “HONEY RADAR” – i suspect/expect there isn’t a band – in any case, this is probably the closest anyone will ever get to filling the SIC ALPS shaped hole in my heart
