This song was somewhat ruined for me by the Wet Wet Wet cover from the mid-nineties. A chart topping atrocity that dominated the UK radio-waves for 15 weeks. The original version was released in 1967. It is a silky smooth four note progression with sickly sweet vocal drizzled on a unnervingly catchy guitar hook. The song´s simple childish lyrics ca...
In the mid-sixties a plethora of British Rock bands had a series of top ten hits in the United States Billboard top 100. It was a movement that was dubbed The British Invasion. A musical phenomenon that was characterized by bands like The Kinks, The Who and The Small Faces. If the influx of British Rock Music on American soil was indeed an invasion...
Iggy Pop is one of many rock and roll legends to have cited The Troggs raw aggressive sound as an important influence in their own song making. One can´t help but imagine a teenage Iggy Pop bouncing around to the powerful driven guitar riff and pounding drums on “I Can Only Give You Everything.” The song was originally released by THEM, fronted by ...
“Your Love,” is a classic example of the British Invasion sound. The irrepressible guitar riff is wonderfully simple. The vocals are a simple repetition of your love which jumps an octave as the song progresses. The constant repetition of the same phrase in increasingly frustrated tones was a technique that became a template for many eighties punk ...
“Give it me,”added a psychedelic edge to the bands existing garage rock repertoire. The song builds and builds. It progresses through the bass. A progression that starts as a constant driven note and develops throughout the song into a smooth, rhythmic bass line. A simple melodic hook, repeated over and over as the band get progressively louder was...
“The Night of The Long Grass,” is a moody, atmospheric and eerie song. Gothic high pitch backing vocals haunt the songs simple guitar riff. “Night of the Long Grass,” is a reflective lyrical song that communicate a haunting solitude. Singer Ron Presley struggles to get to grips with a brief encounter at night and yet never quite manages. “The Night...
“Come Now,”is the Troggs at their hard hitting best. A stripped back beast of grumbling bass, electrifying guitar and snarling vocals. Ron Presley is at his best when expressing carnal emotion and repressed desire. Here, he growls, screams and howls his way through this four minute power anthem, becoming increasingly unhinged as the song reaches it...
Similar to “The Night of the Long Grass,” “I Just Sing,” is one of the more experimental songs of the Troggs´ catalogue. The addition of the gypsy inspired organ and rolling drums is reminiscent of some of The Doors´better works. The fuzzy eastern inspired guitar solo is a work of genius and elevates this song to a level above many of its peers.
In a generation of free love “I Can’t Control Myself,” was a song about teenage angst. The cave-man rock classic has had lasting influence in both garage rock and punk. It was covered by The Ramones who interpreted its expression of uncontrollable desire as a lasting tribute to youth culture beyond just the sixties. From the opening howl to the son...
“Wild Thing´s” opening guitar lick, a distorted squealing note descending into a primal three chord riff, hits you with all the power of a high speed freight train. Written by Chip Taylor and originally released by the Wild Ones in 1965. It is the Troggs´ 1966 rendition that lives long in the memory. The taut, lust driven yelping interchanges effor...
