King Drapes

You Got It   3 tracks

(Musakonttori)



Since these cuts were put to tape in February, 2024, new drummer Markku Mäikkä Tuomi doesn't appear. But considering that he received the approval of stalwart personnel Sami Savolainen (guitar/vocals) and Jani Kallila (slap bass), one can be assured of his prowess. 

It's heartening that the Neo-Rockabilly Big Beat they've traditionally dispatched remains their specialty. No high-gear flamboyance will be located; instead, judicious restraint ensures points be etched emphatically. 2024's Hot Rock Teds smoked down the line and this crisp platter is no less bound to gratify discerning chain-swingers, so laden is it with twanged uppercuts and knucle-crack pulsations.
