Here comes garagepunk at its very best! JON AND THE VONS play their 1966-garagesound wild, loud and straight to the point. Whoever saw this incredible band live or
heard one of their two amazing singles yet, knows exactly what we're talking about: JON
AND THE VONS have once again revived that raw, fuzzy lo-fi-60s-sound that many others
have tried to reproduce before and give us their debut-album that is indeed named
“Gratest Hits Vol.1” for a reason!
The record includes one hit after the next and aside from mainly coverversions of 60sgarage-classics like “Stop and Listen”, “My Brother The Man”, “Caught You Red Handed”
and more, it also has selfcomposed songs like “Won't Be No Next Time” or “I Gotta
Know” that fit in perfectly with the rest of the songs and will catch you all the same. The
band (featuring members of The Rip Offs, Four Slicks, Les Dragueurs, Les Terribles, Les
Arondes, Les Braqueurs etc.) definitely knows how to make you go wild! You get a heavy
fuzz-guitar-sound, catchy melodies supported by farfisa organ, screaming vocals and a
wild beat.
The amazing coverartwork of the record is made by the legendary Japanese scene-artist
Jelly Bean, so the album doesn't only sound great, it also looks it!
Don't wait to get this top-shelf album on your turntables - it won't be easy to remove
again!
