Red Headed Strangler b​/​w Tammys of Tomorrow

by Friends of Cesar Romero

/
1.
A black light is swinging In a hazy room I know you feel my hunger I know you hear my doom Show me death cards The High Priestess, Moon The Hanged Man is calling for you My heathen hands are tired My fingers ache with hate A night shift for lovers Will soon find their fate Show me death cards The High Priestess, Moon The Hanged Man is calling for you
2.
I don’t know why I say goodbye I come back to you You tie my mind up oh so tight I can’t cut through it Will my eyes stay dry? Or will it be like last time? Tammys of tomorrow… Stand by your man You find new ways to pull me in You keep me guessing So helpless when I’m giving in Now I’m undressing Will my eyes stay dry? Or will it be like last time? Tammys of tomorrow… Stand by your man

about

...both A- and B-side are, indeed, snappy little numbers. They’re concise and potent, with singer Joseph Kerr's highish croon shimmying out instantly-memorable melodies above a cavalcade of thick, syrupy guitar chords.
-DECODER MAGAZINE

The A side is a sub-two minute jam that recalls the mod-influenced later work of Billy Childish and his acolytes like the Len Price 3. In other words, it rips!
-GET BENT

The B-Side, "Tammys of Tomorrow" fades in some backmasked melody ...unrequited garage love, surf guitar solo panned across the stereo field. I know how you feel.
-7 INCHES

Gut-busting garage pop, serving up crunchy guitars with a fun-loving energy that is easy to endorse. Spare five easy minutes of your day and listen to both sides of the single.
-STYROFOAM DRONE

Reminiscent of those lazy, hazy days of summer. They ain’t on Snappy Little Numbers fer nuthin’. Recommended.
-RAZORCAKE

The hooks keep you flipping the vinyl back and forth, I can't tell the a-side from the b-side. Friends of Cesar Romero could easily join the rosters of craggy combo craving cartels like Trouble In Mind, HoZac, or Burger Records.
-WHO WANTS LOVE WITHOUT THE LOOKS
