    These first five songs are like a good singles collection, every one of them free-standing and complete, none of them particularly relating to the others. The rest of the album is slighter and less compelling.

    The album falls out fairly evenly between catchy little gems and more run-of-the-mill, refreshing but ultimately forgettable, garage rock--the kind of songs you enjoy once or twice, but after a month don’t really ever play.

    While Derdang Derdang has killer hooks aplenty, they're all too often obscured by stop-start rhythms and the unhinged-sounding vocals of Sam Windett. [Apr 2006, p.119]

    Totally unpretentious, down and dirty weirdness that rocks, surprises and beguiles. Great b/w garage video on their web page.
