The Writhers
Ghastly Reminders
(Nothing But a Nightmare)

This slamming punk cacophony is too brusque and eccentric for above-ground radio. But that died long ago, anyway. And no one cool cares to leave flowers.

Recommended: "Down My Spine," "Kill the Monster," "Point Pleasant 1966"

Videos: "Down My Spine"

The Lucky Devils
News From Earth
(Lucky Devils Records)

Flat-out, stomp-trio psycho, into which is incorporated piquant elements exotic and age old: "Banzai's" introductory riff recalls (for me, at least) the Dolls' "Bad Detective" cover. And the amphetemine reinvention of "Greensleeves" takes the timeless classic, based on a 1500s English folk air, to a unique map-point.

Elsewhere, barrel-chested bop stakes territories with forceful and memorable decisiveness.

Recommended: "Rasputin," "Grendizer Surf," "Ride For My Life,"  "Banzai," "Greensleeves,"  "We're All Gonna Die," "Psychos"

Video: "Rasputin"

Keeping things uncluttered allows the beat to seize dominion, to the hardwood's creaky remorse and our elation.

P.P. Arnold
The New Adventures of...
(earMUSIC)

Brass swells, precise strings cut capers, passages enjoy hue from dignified ivories, and a voice at turns evocative, declarative, and lullingly graceful soars with grand panache. One is overwhelmed by immaculateness.

Pivotal guests in soul legend P.P.'s decades-spanning career included Ike and Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, and Billy Ocean. Two compositions contributed by longtime admirer Paul Weller are breathtakingly interpreted by her.

earMUSIC says this is P.P.'s first solo record in some 50 years. The lion's share of her efforts since her 1960s Immediate Records gems have enriched others' endeavors. (Immediate numbers for which P.P.'s global audience revere her include "The First Cut Is the Deepest," and "Angel of the Morning.")

Records like this make listeners feel elegant for the experience.

Recommended: "Baby Blue," "Though It Hurts Me Badly," "The Magic Hour," "Different Drum," "I'm a Dreamer," "When I Was Part of Your Picture," "Shoot the Dove," "You Got Me," "Daltry Street," "Still Trying," "I'll Always Remember You"

Videos: "Baby Blue"

Guitar Slingers
Psycho Cop
4-track EP
(Diablo Records)

The subculture-vs-authorities theme was prevalent in rock 'n roll's halcyon years. (See any 1950s drive-in JD flick.) And it's since loomed whenever outsider cultural phenomena challenge the zeitgeist.

In this futurist fabulation, battle rages between Mega City Punks and Psycho Cops. Abuse of power always merits a pants kick. As depicted in the video, one titular enfant terrible is exaggerated to risibly cartoon proportions -- not unlike Judge Dredd or Robocop.

Swerving psychobilly rockets with the assist of perfectly lunatic guitar savagery. Whenever  Doyley's involved, fierce fun will erupt. Hyper-twists and textured facets abound in arrangements that rivet. 


Recommended: "Psycho Cop," "Mega City Punks," "Blackout," "Whatever Happened To Rock 'n' Roll?"
