Back in the Day, 2001

Andy G. and the Roller Kings

That Kings County Sound EP

(Sympathy For the Record Industry)

Brazenness bursts omnidirectionally, its cranked-to-the-extreme volume and headfirst dash appropriate to the splash of Rock'n'Roll orthodoxy that sparkles its vibrancy at the core of every kicking party. Big grins decorate mugs and shoe-leather scuffs at delightful speeds as sax and guitars raise up good ruckuses. The beat cannot be resisted. Rocking Pop gestures recalling transister radios and sidewalk surfing swing and bop with the welcome familiarity of old friends. Kids are even dancing on the roof.
