The Mocks

Press release - 17 February 2023 12:28

60s Beat Sensations THE MOCKS Launch Single and European Tour | WAP SHOO WAP RECORDS

The Mocks are the most exciting 60's inﬂuenced band to come out of The Netherlands in a long time!

In 2019 this trio of young gentlemen started playing just as loud as they dress and in their short existence, they have taken the European scene by storm with their frenetic hi-energy live shows.

Wap Shoo Wap Records · The Mocks - Do Me Good

Besides channeling the spirit of the 'Nederbeat'-boom from the 1960s created by Dutch bands like The Motions, The Outsiders and Q65 they are also heavily inﬂuenced by rhythm 'n blues and surf music.

"Do Me Good" is a danceable, fuzz-fueled, freakbeat groover that will have you shake, shimmy, and do the jerk out on the dance ﬂoor. The raucous rhythm, booming bass, and gritty guitar on this track bring it all together for a climactic ending that's completely out of sight

The single was just released by Wap Shoo Wap Records on 7" vinyl and through digital streaming platforms.

The group will kick off a two-week tour of the continent TONIGHT at the Café del Teatre in Lleida, Spain.
