The Mojomatics
“Another Cheat on Me” b/w “Down By the Graveyard”
Douche Master
The key to this single is the vocals. They’re easy to hear but difficult to understand. I have to lean in close, listen harder to figure out the lyrics. Or at least I would if I cared about what garage bands are actually saying. I don’t care much about the content but I want the sounds to be easy to decipher because I love to mumble and hum along. Too many garage bands bury their vocals and rid their songs of melody—hard to hear and impossible to understand. That won’t land you on the Nuggets box set, mate. The Mojomatics are a wiser lot. Plus, when you re-read the song titles it’s clear that these guys know what bands of their ilk are supposed to sing about: 1) I’ve been wronged or, 2) I hang out in creepy places.
