Explosive Dutch 60s Rockers THE MOCKS Drop Debut LP 'Do You Want Me Too?' via Wap Shoo Wap Records

The Mocks, also known as the youngest and most explosive 60’s influenced band from The Netherlands in decades, are finally ready to unleash their first full-length album onto the world!

In their short existence, the group has already conquered many Spanish, German, French, Belgian and Dutch stages, including Funtastic Dracula Carnival and Zwarte Cross. They are a true live band and producer and Dutch 60’s scene veteran Arjan Spies (The Kik, Les Robots, Fleur) has managed to capture this raw energy analogue on tape at Studio Teepdek.

The result is their debut album “Do You Want Me Too?” which contains 10 solid tracks, ranging from stomping garage to fuzz-filled freakbeat.

The influences of legendary Dutch beat bands such as The Motions, Q65, and The Outsiders are clear, but the three gentlemen harmonize in terms of vocals as if they are a power pop band in disguise. A unique contrast to all the heavy pounding and tearing done by the guitars and drums.

No-nonsense drummer Jimi punishes the pigskins like a true maniac, while the eccentric Tim lets his guitar scream and moan like a banshee over hollow-body bass lines by songwriter Rens that are so full and thick, you can feel them in your gut.

“Do You Want Me Too?” will be released digitally on February 23 and on 12” vinyl through Amsterdam-based label Wap Shoo Wap Records on March 2.

Pre-orders for the LP are now available at Wap Shoo Wap Records and Wap Shoo Wap Bandcamp.
