Ah yes, may the little gleam on Wally's aviator shades never go dark. Snaking & deadly heavy boogie record with bewildering cheap synth touches. Filipino guitarist extraordinaire was the source of much badassery in the Juan Dela Cruz Band, but this is his finest moment. Perfect amounts of refried fuzz, weird anthemic processing on vocals, & great shots of Wally wearing his favorite Elvis tshirt or riding his tricked out yellow motorcycle in the notes. By the time you get to the sped up guitar-as-harpsichord ballad, you'll be shocked to recall that Wally's day job in Manila was as an accountant for a shipping company. Tracklisting: Kailan Pa Kaya, Bagong Kaberhayan, Screw, Tattong Araw, Open Fire, Dalagang Mahinhin, Rockin Roller, Wally's Blues, Tayo Na.
