Norwegian 60s Garage Pop, Mod, Merseybeat: Firebeats, Inc - Firebeats, Inc 1966 (2014 RPM)


Experience the rough-edged sound of Scandinavian legends Firebeats, INC. When this totally uncompromising LP was released in Norway in 1966, Firebeats, INC. were accomplished musicians playing the beat clubs all over Scandinavia. Influenced by UK bands like The Hollies and The Who, they adopted the high-energy sounds of these groups, but set out to write their own songs. To record an album consisting of only original material was an unusual step for a Norwegian band in the mid sixties. The tunes were amazing. But alas, the album received very little media attention and only the minimum run of 500 records were ever pressed. But their time would come(amazon)


A really great 60's Merseybeat Garage Pop from this Norwegian band from the sixties. The songs are from 1966-1968 and have a high musical quality. Great melodies paired with typical beat arrangements make this album in my opinion a really outstanding work of this band from Norway. Very recommendable.
