TEENAGE FRAMES and The CRAZY SQUEEZE are two good reasons for us to have a little talk with Frankie, but his solo album "Street Penetration" has made us even more curious... Can you tell us how you first got into music? What were the first records you bought? The first band shirt you wore? "Music... Continue Reading →
I'm a bit late on this one since the album was released in August 2019, but it would have been a pity not to talk about it. The X-RAY EYES come from Leeds, UK and seem to have a special thing for '77 punk rock. The energy of the first songs ("Track One" and "Hallelujah")... Continue Reading →
Some of you probably know FRANKIE DELMANE from The CRAZY SQUEEZE but he has also been active in various rock'n'roll bands (including TEENAGE FRAMES) and as a solo artist. "Penetration Street" contains 18 songs from his 365 songs in 365 days project and offers us a wide variety of his musician and songwriter talents in... Continue Reading →
The BEATERSBAND from Italy is back with a 4 song Christmas EP, opening with a RAMONES influenced 'Frosty The Snowman" before bringing their 60s powerpop influences back with "Black Christmas" (in which the vocals sound more like modern pop punk) and "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer.' "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" takes us back to... Continue Reading →
If you were into 00s powerpop/glam, then you probably remember Los Angeles band TSAR. If you don't, then rush and grab their albums! 3 members of TSAR play in The BROTHERS STEVE, but the music of the band is more influenced by TEENAGE FANCLUB, GUIDED BY VOICES or The KINKS. The 60s powerpop influences perfectly... Continue Reading →
Las Vegas Psych mods The LAISSEZ FAIRS are back with this 16 song album (double album?) on Rum Bar Records. Opening song "Long Grow The Marigolds" brings you back to 60s psychedelism before "Phantom Stranger" will make you space dance! "My Thursday" Girl" has a bit of an early BOWIE vibe, "Mister Wryly" and "We'll... Continue Reading →
I've seen The JACKETS live a couple of times and they are quite an entertaining band with lots of energy, ALICE COOPER eye make-up, freaky fuzz and 60s garage influenced beats. Despite these obvious qualities, I never had the opportunity to listen to a full record of this Swiss/American band. Here they are back with... Continue Reading →

This debut EP was first released in 2014 as a self-produced CD and Hound Gawd! Records have decided to give it a second life on 10" vinyl. ROD HAMDALLAH is from Atlanta, GA so it's no surprise to hear some soul and blues in his garage rock'n'roll. While "Think About It" opens on a quite... Continue Reading →
