Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: A cover of a Jefferson Airplane song, two more surf instrumentals, and a pair of not especially great originals make this a weak showing. The CD reissue's bonuses (two more 60s covers) taken from a 1986 single, make it convenient but not much else.

STEVE SPINALI, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #11, JANUARY/FEBRUARY 1984: AGENT ORANGE again clock in with that irresistible 60's surf-rock sound on this new EP. Two engaging instrumentals spice up the package ('Out Of Limits' and "Bite The Hand..."), but the real surprise here is a rockin' rendition of JEFFERSON AIRPLANE'S 'Somebody to Love," which A. ORANGE make uniquely their own. Solid, catchy and fun.

Additional Notes

All six tracks reissued on the Sonic Snake Sessions CD.
