Pat Todd & the Rankoutsiders

A One-Sided Affair   one-sided, six-song, 12" clear vinyl

(Ghost Highway Recordings)



Crank stereo volume to utmost reaches. "Classical, 1970s-type Hard Rock" might be the assessment offered by someone ignorant of the music's evergreen bounty. Of course, guitar-powered tunes featuring rocket-fueled rhythm sections and too-devastational-to-ignore vocal bombardments give absolutely zero damns about any calendar that Hallmark might roll out. Wild don't age. Those wise enough to search out this disc will thrill to a succession of tunes whose muscles ripple, and which are greatly more planet-splittingly powerful than the insipid music product churned by faceless production gadgetry. Being alive kicks ass!

Recommended: "Mercy," "If Love is Outta Style," "Like Trash on the Ground," "Hey 2 Face"

Videos: "Mercy"   "Like Trash on the Ground"   "Hey 2 Face"
