This is the release for the 25th anniversary of "Psychotic Playground" (limited edition picture-dic CD) and I'm ashamed to admit that I wasn't familiar with PARADISE ALLEY until now, maybe because they were among the bands that had an album out a bit too late...

Once again, it seems like all that glitters rocks! When did you start BBQT? I started BBQT in 2010.... Continue Reading →

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...
