Their wild sonic tantrums are so soaked in Nuggets history it's hard to believe they weren't conceived in the same fertile musical ground that produced bands like the Sonics and ? and the Mysterians. The Cuts blends old-school, psychedelic garage with '70s NYC proto-punk noise (a couple songs are so Television it's crazy!). The guitars come off cheap and messy; the vocals are amped, snotty, and slightly distorted; the keyboards whiz around like some woozy Dennis Hopper drug sequence, and the rhythms switch between jangling so loosely they're gonna slip right out of your speakers and wind up so tight they're gonna snap.
