Published on August 12th, 2010 by The Editor

Now listen up: if it’s spit’n'sawdust bar-room blues-rawk’n'roll you’re after, it doesn’t come much louder or more fun than a Nashville Pussy live set.

Published on August 10th, 2010 by The Editor

Monotonix - Fun, Fun, FunYou can’t stop the rock’n'roll, and you certainly can’t stop Israeli garage loons Monotonix from touring and penning loud, brief and charmingly noisy records.

Published on July 5th, 2010 by The Editor

Superbutt - You And Your RevolutionThis is the fourth studio album by Superbutt. They’re big in their homeland of Hungary, you know… and by all merits, they should be fairly big over here, too.

Published on March 6th, 2010 by The Editor

De Grinpipol - self-titledSardinian oddballs De Grinpipol have some great garage-pop to share on this self-released and eponymous debut album. Quirky, and full of Mediterranean sunshine.
