This is the third full-length album of punk blues Italian trio The GENTLEMENS. The vinyl version is released by Hound Gawd! Records, so it looks very nice as usual. 'Still I Am" gives this album a quite brilliant opening, bringing a vibe somewhere between The CRAMPS and JOHN SPENCER, while second song "Sheltered" is a... Continue Reading →
Philadelphia rock'n'roll gang RUNHIDEFIGHT offers us two songs in which classic garage rock'n'roll meets wild protopunk. You'll hear some guitar riffs influenced by The KINKS, some slight surf rock touches and some riot girl lead vocals in "He's A Jerk." "Because I Love You" has more psych to it, think 60s garage with Indian (Bollywood... Continue Reading →
"One Up" and "Rat" open this album in a very no wave way full of noise and repetitive beats, but the Italian power trio has its roots in primitive garage as you can hear in "Holy Motor."

The THICK UN'S is actually a one man project. Mark Kennedy recorded these 4 songs in a DIY, lo-fi way. His inspiration seems to be vintage sci-fi/horror movies and 70s psyche rock. "Savage Sea" is purposely out of tune, and "Winter Warfare" sounds a bit like BLACK SABBATH on acid! Things sometimes get very chaotic... Continue Reading →
