The Sunset Bombers “Sunset Bombers” 1978. Ariola Records. Hard-rocking and high-energy with a glammy garage punk sound that predates that revival rage of the 90′s and early 2000′s by a good 20 years. Sunset Bombers was a one-off album project propelled by Doug Fieger, bassist and vocalist for The Sunset Bombers and soon-to-be member of the The Knack of “My Sharona” fame (1979). Fieger is from the Detroit area and the music of The Sunset Bombers has the same rough edge as fellow Detroit rockers MC5 and The Stooges but with a nod to good-time partying à la The New York Dolls. On The Sunset Bombers is a blistering bass-heavy cover of “Gimme Some Lovin’” as well as covering The Trogg’s “I Can’t Control Myself.” Also particularly good is “Let’s Drive Tonight” (such an infectious bass/guitar hook on this one!), “Gutter’s Paradise” and “Drag Queen.”
