FUZZTONES' organist LANA LOVELAND released her first solo "Order To Love" album in 2011 and is back with a brand new single. The band's line-up includes two FUZZTONES members: Rudi Protrudi on bass, and Lennny Silvar (lead guitar.) "Strange Charm" has this cryptic sexy 60s vibe you can also hear in The FUZZTONES, and Lana's... Continue Reading →
Spencer Robinson is back with a new project and this 3 song EP. This time he chose to explore darker 80s/early 90s sounds. "Can't Live On The Other" side is heavily influenced by The JESUS AND MARY CHAIN although the vocals sound gloomier than Jim Reid's while "Undet The Ivy" brings The SISTERS OF MERCY...

Italy has brought us some exciting rock'n'roll bands these last years (GIUDA, IDOL LIPS, LESTER GREENOWSKI, etc.), and it seems like it won't stop now. Max (vocals/guitar) studied rock'n'roll at a good school since he played with RICKY RAT both in Europe and in the USA. Back in Italy, he found three rock'n'rollers to express... Continue Reading →
Originally formed in California in 1984, The MORLOCKS have been through various line-up changes and break-ups, but the re-vamped version of the band is now based in Düsseldorf, Germany. The cover of this 7th album will fascinate you as much as it will hurt your eyes, and the vinyl version is released by Germany's finest... Continue Reading →
Hailing from The Netherlands, SUGAR LADY get most of their influences from NYC 77' punk rock'n'roll, when rock'n'roll was dirty and dangerous. The HEARTBREAKERS/JOHNNY THUNDERS influence is quite obvious in "Welcome To The Real World", but the vocals remind me a bit of NASHVILLE PUSSY, so it doesn't sound like an imitation at all. The...

In Downtown NYC, Brian Morgan is probably best known for slinging guitar for the Disruptors, the last of the great, pre gentrification, CBGB's sleazy gutter punks, but in the Midwest, the guy is a legendary hero among the record store loiterers and sneering delinquent teenagers of all ages, for all his early garage-land bands like...

One year after "United We Can't Stand", The EROTICS are back with 6 brand new songs. While the EP cover reminds me a bit of the excellent "Where You Been" by DINOSAUR JR., opening song "Stop Drop and Roll" confirms that The EROTICS still play 80s influenced hard rock'n'roll. "This Is Why We Can't Have... Continue Reading →
"Wish You Success" is the third full length album of The CONNECTION. The band mixes its American punk rock roots ("You Know", "In The End", "Mechanical Heart") with excellent pop songwriting ("Checking", "Color Me Unimpressed", "What a Shame"), and their power pop rock'n'roll sometimes flirts with country music in "Wish You Success" or in "Thinking...

The CHEAP CASSETTES are from Seattle, but they don't really sound like a grunge band. Opening song "Kiss The Ass Of My Heart" has this stylish romantic thing you could find in HANOÏ ROCKS, and "Black Leather Angel" reminds me of early/mid 00s glam punk, so you won't be surprised to hear that former DIMESTORE...
