More Jet

(Guitar Wolf Records)

As your eyes sweep across these letters, Seiji and curled-lip collaborators Takura and Gotz are deluging New Zealand and Australia with mega-voltage thunderations of twisted Punk metal. Sparks are surely spattering that besieged landscape. Official alarms scream. Spotlights criss-cross ebony nights. Masses of tittilated adherants will be happily deaf for days.

Seven years have transpired since the leathery trio last detonated within studio confines. Those are as nothing. Personnel permutated, but one satisfiedly savors familiar blast/gash/smashes fired off with febrile relish. I have it on reliable imaginary authority that jagged-toothed Rock'n'Roll of incalculable velocity is the audio equivalent of Ponce de León's diving pool.

Recommended: "More Jet," "100m Girl," "Long Tall Sally," "Coelacanth Galaxy," "9AM Pornomag Planet," "Kung Fu Bikini," "Super Sonic ihatov"

Videos: promo :23 "Long Tall Sally"    live 10:21 (New Zealand, 2025)

Meet Your Maker

(Sweet Time Records)

Maximium Rock'n'Roll wrote that Andresa Nugraha sired this Indonesian Garage-Punk project in 2019. Today, the man played all instruments on Meet Your Maker. (He apparently retains touring players - they recently aimed flamethrowers at Tokyo.) Such is the breakneck frenzy and string ravages that comparisons have been drawn to Guitar Wolf and Teengenerate. All but leaps from packaging.

Recommended: "R'N'R All Night Long," "Don't Talk To Me," "Dressed To Kill," "Meet Your Maker," "The Anaxiphiliac," "Wicked City," "You Wanna Be Me," "Born To Lose," "You Ain't Better Than Me"

Video: live in Tokyo, 2024 (37:44)

Whiskey's Not So Evil

(Self-issued)

In self-penned tales of heartsickness (and in a Lee Hazlewood cover), guitarist/singer Ziad Samman laments treacherous charmers. He and collaborators Shunsuke and Paul dispatch vibrancy that, while shaded by rustic inclinations, is muscular to a beat-down degree. (They recently trod club-boards alongside Guitar Wolf; that requires formidability.) In the swaybacked-Country closer, a Wynn Stewart number, Ziad declares with finality the morbid criminality to which inconstancy has provoked him.

Recommended: "Shunsuke's Last Stand,' "Pink Fuzz Box," "Still As the Night," "Whiskey's Not So Evil," "Outlaw Hearts," "I'm Gonna Kill You"
