Well, you're not wrong but labels are tricky sometimes. I think of them
as psychedelic punk, myself. They are often refered to as a psyche band,
(I think there's a subtle difference beteween psyche and psychedelic)
But, yes, as good as Kick Out The Jams was, their studios albums esp.
High Times and Back In The USA are bloody great!

I haven't heard Wayne's new CD though yet, bit skint at the moment ;(
