With a combination of '70s punk melodicism, '90s rock rawness,
and surf-rock dance beats, The Boorays offer something for just about
every kind of rock fan. Their music is contemporary yet evokes memories of
early '60s, crossed with the late '70s and early '80s, and mixed with the '90s.
Even the '50s don't go unnoticed by their clever use of 50's style artwork as
seen in the album packaging and eye-catching flyers.
Songs about flapjacks, playing frisbee, and driving dusty roads
with your favorite gal. They deliver a new brand of pop/rock, with lots of
harmonies and plenty of wit. "Decide", "Rocket to the Moon" and "You Move
Me Like A Slug" became instant classics. And then there's the sad
near-ballad "Pick-Up Truck" and Kaemmerlen's delirious turn at lead yelping on
"Stop, Drop-N-Roll", initially released as singles only. The second
release featured the feedback-drenched harmonically rich "Band of Gold", the
hypertensive "Catch Me, Keep Me", and a song about flapjacks, "Flapjack".
And of course there's "Silence Earthman", the heir apparent to David Bowie's
"Space Oddity" and the slinky jazz / subsonic rock feel of "Three A.M."
