Go Go Killers

House of Mysterious Secretions                    (Down At the Nightclub Records)

Cruelly distorted demolition-chording chugs and rockets; a primal beat resounds insistently; Alabama Sharp's gutter-blast caterwauling rages and implores crowds in hedonistic euphoria, its febrility a thing of ghastly wonder.

Bodies strewn across hardwood jerk spasmodically. The walls drip with echoes scarlet.

This hysterical-like-Hasil disc will be issued in the EU later this year, Alabama Sharp told the present writer.

Recommended: "I Got the Bug," "Do the Caveman," "The Manster," "I Want a Woman," "Wreck N Roll Music," "She Loves Stitches," "My Wicked Heart"

Audio: "I Got the Bug"

 Ghoultown                                                          Curse of Eldorado (Angry Planet Entertainment))

Organic evolution is afoot in the stark, desolate range. Always redoubtably guitar-lashed and trumpet-streaked, the Ghoultown sound now incorporates even greater swagger and ferocity. 

Recommended: "The Badlands," "Bullets Don't Argue," "Leave You In the Dust," "The Worm," "Night of No Tomorrows," "Eldorado," "Adios, Gringos"
