One of Minneapolis' most popular '60s bands, the Litter are most well-known 

for their classic 1967 garage rock single "Action Woman." 

With its demonic fuzz/feedback guitar riffs and cocky, snarling lead vocal, it was an archetype 

of the tough '60s garage rock favored by fans of the Pebbles reissue series

The Litter's Emerge combines the sound of the Amboy Dukes with Blue Cheer while vocalist Mark Gallagher 

at times does his best to imitate Jack Bruce adding Cream to the band's list of textures. 

Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Little Red Book" gets torn apart in the translation and is lots of fun. 

Lead guitarist Ray Melina takes the band to the world of British rock with his "Breakfast at Gardenson's," 

the light feeling here a total about-face, a transition that complements the huge sound on most of the record. 

Opening track "Journeys" is that Brit rock flair and West Coast vocal sound meeting the Amboy Dukes. 

This has all been heard and done before, but The Litter emulate so well 

that their concoction is actually quite inviting. "Silly People" is the rock band toying with jazz and blues, 

light years away from the garage, but working on a level that eluded 

the Blues Magoos and Lovecraft when those ensembles strayed too far from their origins...(AllMusic)
