[bomp] Syndicate Of Sound a.o. (i.m.o.)

To each his own, I guess...not familiar with latter-day Kenny & the Kasuals, 
but late Mouse & the Traps ("Wicker Wine," which I think was from 1970) is 
great hard-rock in the Black Pearl/Blue Cheer vein...garage-rock obviously 
wasn't the point. 

As for the Syndicate Of Sound...again, no accounting for taste, but for me 
"Brown Paper Bag" has a great jangly guitar-riff and a poetic chorus that 
caps it all off: "No one knows but/Everybody sees/A bottle in drag/In a brown 
paper bag." Sounds like the Sir Douglas Quintet with cleaner production.
