Nicotine Pretty “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul?/Nicotine Pretty” (Single)

NICOTINE PRETTY hail from Bridgend, South Wales, and are fronted by Ginge Knievil (The SICK LIVERS.) “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul” has a bit of pre-Generation Terrorists MANIC STREET PREACHERS in it, with a street punk edge, and “Nicotine Pretty” is a cool glam punk song, with JOHNNY THUNDERS guitars and a bit of a QUIREBOYS/DOGS D’AMOUR vibe.

Les Suzards – Sons of the Dogs

After reviewing their debut album out on Wanda Records, we decided to send a few questions to Les SUZARDS in order to know more about them. T Boy Stoogeling (vocals/guitar) tells us about the band’s history, French rock’n’roll, their last tour and influences… Can you tell us a bit about the history of the band and this name choice? You’re sometimes called Les SUZARDS or … Continue reading Les Suzards – Sons of the Dogs
