  • TSAR “The Drugboy tapes”

    Point in fact, Tsar was the best band to come out of Los Angeles in the 2000’s! They are one of the greatest power pop bands to come from the Los Angeles area, ever!!! Period! They usually put out an album every five years, their debut in 2000 and Band-Girls-Money in 2005 and now this… Read more

  • The Velvoids “Big Latex Baby Soda Muff” Single

    Franckie was telling you about the Greek scene in the MIGHTY SHAKERS review, so here’s another band from Athens. The VELVOIDS have been playing for 8 years now claiming New York punk rock and early glam rock influences. “Rosita” is a crazy garage rock’n’roll song with handclaps and sound experimenting, reminding me a bit of… Read more

Moreover, there used to be quite a few interesting bands in… Read more

  • The Ratboys “Cash, Gas And Trash”

    The RATBOYS are not Mr. Ratboy’s new band, they come from Belgium and “Cash Gas and Trash” is their debut album. These Boys love 77 punk rock’n’roll, 60s bubblegum power pop and they sometimes remind me of The BEAT ANGELS (“Bubblegum Attack”.) The RATBOYS understood that a catchy chorus is the most important thing when… Read more
