Red Hot Riot
Nineteen
Digital-only 6-track EP
(self)

Tensed forward like wild-youth flick-knives, in the front row of the incoming class. Similarly sinewy and audacious neo-rockabilly knocked flat the processed pop-rock sludge that predominated in 1970s rip-stitched Punk's wake. Its fresh eruption is gladdening all over.

Recommended: "Life You Get," "Street Lights (Hey Hey Hey)," "Walking the Dog," "Peggy"

Videos: "Life You Get" (Official video)
                   Full Glastonberry 2019 show (52;07)

Radio Speed
Trump Train's A Rollin'
single track

Homespun,irresistably infectious country that rollicks unstoppably for a noble cause: That of the world's most powerful man, and savior (in the desperately needful moment) of the real American Way.

"You can hear the whistle all across the plains,
all the way from Denver down to New Orleans.
She's rollin' from the mountains down to the sea,
even California, all that they can see..."

Now appears a mystery: Exhaustive research turned up nothing about the musicians involved -- no social media presence, recording label, or identifying and contact information.

For reasons unknown they're hiding their light beneath a bushel. Save for this fine song.

The Heartbreakers
Yonkers Demo 1976 (2 CD)
(Cleopatra Records)

In that year, for those of us new to the razor and not yet battered by the restrictive realities that doom to obscurity pretty much every one of us (later on, one learns to take each minor thrill available, and conclude victory, of a sort) everything seemed within grasp.

Johnny and Jerry had left the New York Dolls. Walter was fresh from the Demons. And Richard had yet to front the Void Oids. Four outlanders, so beyond the world they were excruciatingly of it. (Billy Rath would later replace Richard.)

This demo is raw, crude, and illustrative of the wonder potential in guys with sordid appetites plugging in, daring to dream, and churning wickedly slapdash / meticulous rock and roll that brazenly proclaims its validity.

In enduring accomplishment lies immortality, for uneven souls who create within a derisive clime.

Recommended: "Love Comes In Spurts," "I Wanna Be Loved," "Blank Generation," "Chinese Rocks," "Can't Keep My Eyes On You," "Pirate Love," "Flight," "Hurt Me," "You Gotta Lose," "Goin' Steady" 

Video: "Chinese Rocks," "Pirate Love" (live 1975, unknown location, Thunders, Nolan, Lure, Hell.)

The Hyperjax
Bringing the Bad Back Home
(Wolverine Records)

Alacritous, economical, and witty describe the Hyperjax as aptly now as in years previous. Theirs is a forcible onslaught, but one judiciously directed and of dangerous effectiveness. A satiating jounce.

Time's passage has brought acidic retrospect -- "I was a desperado with a bit of bravado, on the way from boy to man!" -- but dig that the salad days are still transpiring.

Recommended: "Bringing the Bad Back Home," "Roaming the Dead End Streets," "Shadowbrawler," "The Blind Leading the Blind," "Age of the Addictive Personality," "Going Down Smilin'."

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"

Ghost Radio
4-track EP
(Greystone Records)

Imagine somehow combining an observatory telescope and a Criswell Ouija board, then hooking the whole thing into a monster amplifier.

Greg Townson
More! Travelin' Guitar
(Hi-Tide Recordings)

So conversant in multifarious voices is Greg that he exhorts confidently, as he imbues instrumentals with surfside character, exotic mien, and dual-pipes vivacity.
