The New York Wannabes
are a German blues punk trash band, half male & half female, so when the topic of this duo comes up, the Cramps are a frequent point of reference. And it’s true that in songs such as “Jazz” or “Soul Brother”, Lux and Ivy seem to be lurking in the shadows and smiling in approval, while Iggy sneers along to tortured riffs reminiscent of ‘68 Comeback (“Headin’ South”) or the Gories. With Sue on drums, Lucky the Beast (!) sings, preaches and abuses his strings in true swamp rock style, with a healthy dose of hallucination and menace. I’m signing up their fan club straight away. This 33-rpm (have you noticed how this format has had a proper comeback recently?) is called Loud And Proud… Suits them rather well. (French Underground Zine)

Loud and Proud: 12”
With this band name and the record titled Loud and Proud, I thought for sure this was going to be bad NYHC. I’m glad to say that I was very wrong! While this formula has been done before, not often does a band get it right like New York Wannabes have here. The band is a two-piece, male and female garage rock band from Germany that worship at the altar of Lux and Ivy. Musically, they play fucked up blues rock’n’roll, from the heart, without an ounce of pretentiousness. Anyone who is into primitive garage rock like Oblivians or the Gories should seek this out! –Mark Twistworthy (P.Trash, http://ptrashrecords.com/)
