The Satyrs - Don't Be Surprised (2023) [Hi-Res]

Unfiltered North Carolina ‘60s garage rock from Asheville teen stompers The Satyrs! This LP features previously unissued tracks and their lone 1965 single - all bookended by two savage versions of the title track! The contents of this “lost” tape have since been restored and are included on this LP along with the Satyrs’ 1965 originals. Two versions of “Don’t Be Surprised,” the Mark V and the Wal-Mor version, bookend this artifact of true North Carolina garage. In their brief, explosive appearance on the garage rock scene, the Satyrs provide a look into Southern ‘60s rock and the rippling effects of rock ‘n’ roll in mid-century America. Tenacious in their desire to be a part of the rock ‘n’ roll revolution, the Satyrs successfully captured the essence of a '60s teenager's ephemeral desire to step into limelight, even for a brief moment.
