The Red Hook Boppers
Welcome to the home of The Red Hook Boppers. The Boppers have just finished their debut album called Rolling With The Red Hook Boppers and it's a potent brew of old-time Rock and Roll, sludgy Garage-Punk, tight-ass Funk and Americana atmospherics. You can stream it below for free. Word of caution though. There's only one instrument on the whole album so you'd better like electric guitars. A lot.

The Boppers will soon be appearing live at your local bowling alley. Or maybe your mom's kitchen.

Rolling With The Red Hook Boppers - Song Info
  1. Rolling With The Red Hook Boppers
  2. Opening salvo! Album kicks off with a pumping little ditty inspired by The Boppers fixation with '50s/'60s Texas Rock and Roll. This one's equal parts Buddy Holly and Bobby Fuller with a touch of jangly atmospherics.

  3. Somebody's Mom
  4. In similar vein to Rolling..., this one's a menacing, growling, early '60s-inspired instrumental number

  5. Long Toddle, Short Fight
  6. Getting a touch funky here. Bit of Steve Cropper/Booker T groove thrown in with a smidgeon of London Calling-era Clash

  7. Emergency Brake
  8. An atmospheric jangler that doesn't seem to exhibit any particular influence. Makes for a nice moody break though

  9. Snake Oil Salesman
  10. Another interlude in a similar vein to Emergency Brake

  11. Payday Bonanza
  12. Ballsy, collar-grabber inspired by Steve Cropper Memphis soul guitar. One of the tightest jams on the album, oozing punch and vitality

  13. Girl Gang
  14. Dark and sludgy garage rocker. You wouldn't want to meet this girl gang in a dark alley on a Saturday night

  15. Kryptonite
  16. Space rock! This one has more in common with the likes of Spacemen 3 than old time Rock and Roll stuff. A throbbing, mind-massager with a narcotic drone for y'all shoegazers out there

  17. Degradation Alley
  18. One of the dirtiest and crudest vintage garage blasts ever commited to miserable compressed bit rate files. This shoulda been pressed on a styrene 45 and blasted out of apartment windows all Summer long on a cheap record player.

  19. Satan In High Heels
  20. It's Link Wray time. Or to put it another way, had The Rayman used a hollow body instead of a Supro, he might have sounded something like this. A ferocious prowler.

  21. Falcon Point (Short Version)
  22. The Boppers finest hour! Here's a real sweet, contemplative country-folk instro. Highlight of the album, fer sure.

  23. Superior Interior
  24. And to end it all, a rural Rockabilly pounder played on a '57 Gretsch Clipper. You really gotta hand it to those workers at the original Gretsch factory in Brooklyn. Legend has it that many on the night shift back in the '50s were junkies. If said legend is correct, the world sorely needs more of what them cats wuz snortin'.
