The Black Moon Boys

Lockdown Boogie EP

(Self-issued)

Languor bookends duel slices of rewarding romp. Though this is the combo's maiden disc, the reason for their command of electrified sounds is simple: there's an abundance of major associations on members' resumes, including Ray Condo, the Hillbilly Rockets, and Ordures Ioniques. (Jeff Ray Holmes' six-string is a lethal device.) Every chair in the place will sit vacant; so firebreathing is the hellzapoppin' Goneism, even onlookers of the cube variety will surely lose themselves in "#rockabilly's" carbonated pandemonium.
