The Slow Drags

Off the Cuff Rock'n'Roll

(Self-issued)



What most recommends the Toronto three (along with their musical mettle), is an ability to summon the swaggering spirit that once led collars-upturned JDs to tear up joints and bird dog milkshake mademoiselles. And as inciting as are rave-ups like "Devilish Lips" and "Whole Lotta Fun," it is lowered-lights belly-rub "Cold Cold Night" (which benefits immeasurably from precisely-on-point 88s) that is most conducive to he-she interactions that are none of your business.

Recommended: "Devilish Lips," "Cold Cold Night," "C'mon," "Money in My Pocket," "Whole Lotta Fun," "Riding Out"

The Slow Drags

Off the Cuff Rock'n'Roll

(Self-issued)



The surest measure of mens' oneness with Rock'n'Roll can be got by hearing them rip it from any instruments at hand. By that gauge, a whole lotta proof jumps betwixt these grooves. The Rebel Sound so beloved by us is incarnated here in aspects of the Eisenhower-era Malt Shoppe, back-handed Garage slaps, Blues-fixations, indie, and Rockabilly so breathless it all but knocks the juke off its pins on its way out into the night. Jaggedness pinned live, by discreet producer David Matta.

Recommended: "Devilish Lips," "Cold Cold Night," "C'mon," "Money in My Pocket," "Whole Lotta Fun," "Riding Out"
