Garage rockers The Forty Nineteens are basically a singles band. Get the job done in less three minutes and move on to the next song. On their new album New Roaring Twenties they barrel through eleven songs, with a glint in their eyes. The band name is a pun on Californian State law - the band's guitarists both worked as criminal defence attorneys when the band was founded and music was a means to blow off some steam in their spare time.
Rock 'n' roll is about having fun and that is what these five guys provide by the bucket-load, with lyrics about of road trips and good-natured bad behaviour that won't get them into serious trouble. And as a coup they got Tony Valentino (The Standells) - still kicking ass at 79 - to add his signature guitar sound to Late Night Radio. Swing buy your local car rental and hire a convertible. Drop the disc in the player and turn it up.
