(-review by Moses Midnight) Electrajets Make Absolutely Epic Psychedelic Glam Masterpiece! Cried so much his face was wet, so I knew he was not lying... (-Bowie) To be joyous is to be a mad man in a world of sad ghosts... (-Miller) Do ya like good music? Do ya like T. Rex? Brevity and under-statement... Continue Reading →
CHEAP GUNSLINGERS formed in 2015 in Florida although their sound has more to do with 70s New York. They also seem to be influenced by The MODERN LOVERS as opening song "Record Store" suggests. Songs like "Good Time" and "Run Girl" make me think about mid-00s punk rock'n'roll bands such as The MYSTERY ADDICTS or... Continue Reading →
HONEYCHAIN is a power trio from Los Angeles that bring us 2 songs on transparent yellow vinyl on Spanish record label Jarama 45RPM Recs . "Go Away" is mix of 90s alternative rock with modern girl powerpop and "Through Your Purse" sounds more like punk rock with a college rock touch. You'll get lots of... Continue Reading →

Their cover of The CRYSTALS' "Then He Kissed Me" is probably my favourite on this album although... Continue Reading →
I can't really remember when was the last time I reviewed a bubblegum glam punk band. Unfortunately, the style has disappeared quite a long time ago, so it's good to see a band from Italy bringing the pink glittery corpse of bubblegum glam punk back to life! PSYCHO BARBIES first released a 4 song demo... Continue Reading →
Once in a while, you can read a review of an "emo" record on here, because there's nothing wrong with it as long as it rocks. Bands like HOT WATER MUSIC, early GET UP KIDS or The PROMISE RING were all good, and TRIFLE carry the torch of this indie rock style that was quite... Continue Reading →
Pop punk is always better with some bubblegum added to it, and The YOOHOOS from Germany definitely know about this! This German power trio with both male and female vocals are influenced by GROOVIE GHOULIES, CHIXDIGGIT and 90s indie college rock, but songs like "Hello", "Planet Heart", "Spread The Magic" or "Decisions" could have been...
