"Count the money baby! Count they money baby!"
As my shirt boldly proclaims, Denmark's the spot! Lately, that coastal country in Northern Europe has been the source of a few good surprises, and this Copenhagen-based band can attest to that. Despite the imagery of a large, amazingly bullity band, Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band is only two people - Snake and Jet, or in actuality, Thomas and Thor. Together, the duo mix about wurlitzer keys, harmonicas, drums, vintage synths and the screechings of an electric guitar to create a sound akin to the proud rock of the dirty days. Being gentlemen of today, however, affords this duo a mix of the classic and modern. Coupled with the energetic rhythms, in place of your usual lyrics, are sing-along friendly power cheers and slogans looped about for ease of memorization. Quite frankly, these kids are well-capable of rock and have me jamming out on imaginary Guitar Hero utilizing everything from my imaginary whammy bar to my imaginary star power. Their debut album, X-Ray Spirit, is just loads and loads and loads of fun. I don't usually tell you what to do with your money, but if you like one of these songs, you might as well just pick up the whole album - the kid does not disappoint.
