The Wind-Ups - "(That's Just My) Dream Girl"


Hailing from Chico, CA, The Wind-Ups have a perfect single for fans of garage rock and punk. "(That's Just My) Dream Girl" sounds like a lo-fi version of when the Ramones would cover a classic song from the 60's. The song's rough and abrasive edge helps it from becoming too saccharine, which wouldn't be a bad thing with a song like this. It kind of sounds like the Ramones covered ? and the Mysterians and then ? and the Mysterians covered their cover. For those of us (probably overly) obsessed with vintage style garage rock, "(That's Just My) Dream Girl" is going to sound like heaven.

You can listen to "(That's Just My) Dream Girl" below. Confection is due out July 11 on Dandy Boy Records, and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp. For more on The Wind-Ups, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram.
