Are you sure these guys are from Switzerland ???  never heard of them...
there's only 2 garage outfits here... one of them is of course Lightenin
Beat Man, and the other guys are the Giant Robots, an excellent garage surf
combo...they're now enjoying more and more "success" here (well... when I'm
talkin about success, you know what I mean... it's a realtive term !), and
should burn down  Europa during the autumn when they'll play as support for
the Fuzztones in France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. They've
just issued their first album, called "Invasion!", a few months after their
first EP ("Introducing..."). I really love them and their sound, and I'm
surrently setting up the Giant Robots fan club... should be fun...
By the way, if you're a radio station DJ, or editor of a zine, drop me some
lines, and I'll try to send you their album. There's not a lot of promo
available (album issued at 500 copies for the moment), but I'll see what I
can do.
