Go Go Killers
I-565 3-track release
(Go Go Killers Wreck and Roll)

A mass of esoteric exotica. Or exotic esoterica. 

The Go Go Killers spew satiating trash-incantations whose antecedents include Hasil and Lux. And that, alone, would be enough to recommend them to cats who dig kicks on the wild side.

But the Go Go Killers, fired up with those inspirations, surge on blazing wheels down their own avenue paved with marvelous enticements.

Love Tattoo
When Life Comes Knockin'
(Foot Tapping Records)

Airtight.

Johnny J spins from roots-idioms to contemporary inclinations, and never casts a backward glance. His guitar has many voices; each of remarkable distinction.

In moments, Nicola Carla's exquisite sonorisations recall Blondie's Debbie Harry. She imbues passages as is appropriate, whether with delicate nuance or strength formidable.

Drummer Dave West proves direct and efficacious at every turn. Each downbeat, crackled pop, and resounding crash is in character with the dynamic presentation.

Meanwhile, unobtrusively sure doghouse-manipulator Kurt Fox maintains confident guides. His efforts are crucial to the success of the whole. Adamant, but ever nimble.

The imaginative writing is assured of its stride. Material sometimes bespeaks ground long-broken -- no slight, that -- but also dares to explore in more modern, inventive fashion. 


Recommended: "When Life Comes Knockin'," "One More Blissful Night," "Just Like Before," "Anybody Else But Me," "How Love Is Meant To Be," "Not My Style," "Find the Key," "If I'd Only Known."

The Devilish 3
s/t (self)

Shot through with footloose, good-times rockabilly. And of that, there can never be an overabundance. 

But at the end comes something otherwise remarkable: "Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down" derives especial ambiance by coupling its rallying message with an understated "Hit the Road, Jack" air. Haunting background voices enrich.

The breakdown, in which acoustic bass and pensive, minimalist drums work their charms, indicates depth worth respect.

Recommended: "Mud and Blood," "Workin' For the Man," "Black Cat (With a Knife Tattoo)" "Pile Your Hair Up High," "Eat the Worm," "Root of It All," "Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down"

Johnny Ramone
The Final Sessions  purple vinyl
(Cleopatra Records)

Though elements from a thousand bubblegum and bargain basement subcult roller coaster rides lurked in the Ramones' storied  amphetamine-demolition oeuvre, there had never been a band like them. Nor has there, since. Their influence will surely prove of the ubiquitous, eternal class.

It was fitting that, once Johnny's Ramones days lay behind him, he threw in with Lemmy, Danny B. Harvey, and Slim Jim Phantom to revivify Elvis. 

Their spiritual and physical unity evoked inimitable specialness. And a mighty, loudly forcible presence burst in every direction at once, never forgetting the kicks at the heart of the whole proposition.

Lucky 757
Memphis Sun  3-track EP
(self / Scad Publishing)

Successful symbiosis, in these tracks recorded live at Sun Studio.

There surely are mystery elements floating unseen at Sam Phillips' stomping ground. Inspirational ones that produce wondrous efforts. But they cannot do it alone. 

Only when coupled with talent of authenticity and exceptional worth can the spirits be most efficacious. Standard met. The beat compels allegiance.

Miles End 
Ten 
(Richard Simmons and 
Steve McLean / Miles End)

Towering guitars flashing and chunka-chunking through arrangements utterly of the classic rock vibe. The primacy of the RIFF is in these grooves reestablished. Bow down.
