Go-Go Killers
Hymns and Hearses
(self)

Nothing distinctly meritorious in these measured, hacksawed grooves, unless you count furious flames, casual inhumanity, and a generally toxic air that neutralizes whole towns of cretins.

Recommended: "When Destruction Comes To Town," "Death Comes Lookin',""Poisonous," "The Fuck It Song."

The Psychonauts
Go Rockabella Go
(self)

Pristine production ensures each player effectiveness. Guttural pipes splay authority. And the Beat compels to fracture. 

Recommended: "Rockabella," "Hot Girls and Cadillacs," "Romes Loves Juliet," "I Need You So," "Hoochie Coochie Bop," "The Vampire Is Back In Town."

Calabrese
flee the light
(Spookshow Records)

Thunder lashed upward, through sinister darkness amid which natural and unnatural phenomena lie in creepily satiating communion. Most often slowed to momentous effect. Once witnessed, no cleansing. 

Recommended: "He Who Flees the Light," "Let Doom Overtake Us," "King Prowler," "Demonspitter," "Hallucinatory Void," "And In the End...I Am Nothing."

Video: "He Who Flees the Light,"
                "Let Doom Overtake Us"

The Altar Billies
Union Pacific Railroad
single
(self)

The rail that extended American civilization, and music of rural character, are a match made all the more felicitous by rollicking passage.

Hudson City Rats
They Can't Take What I Ain't Got

Direct rockabilly that digs itself the most is refreshing, after slogging through mechanistic bilge that sullies today's airwaves. No Clydes allowed.

Recommended: "Balzac Boogie," "Mercy," "11:24," "She's a Woman."

Videos: "Balzac Boogie"
             "Mercy"
