JEREMY GLUCK - I Knew Buffalo Bill

I was meant to post this at the same time as Nikki Sudden's Lost in A Sea of Scarves, another request for someone, but never got round to it what with all the Christmas bollocks, time etc. Now this post has a different significance. On 30th December 2009 Roland S Howard passed away after battling liver cancer. Roland’s musicianship is all over this album; hypnotic kraut rock basslines and a scratchy swamp guitar sound. This album is greater than the sum of it’s parts, and boy did it have some parts to it. Jeremy Gluck, former singer for the surftastic garage punkers The Barracudas gathered together not only Roland S Howard but Nikki Sudden, Epic Soundtracks and Jeffery Lee Pierce to record this master piece of stripped back swamp blues and lo-fi post-punk laced with a hint of 60’s pop. It is both beautiful and brutal, stark and colourful in equal measures. A must have! Get it Here! My respect and sympathy goes out to Roland’s family and friends.

THE GUN CLUB - Breaking Hands (12"Vinyl-Rip)

This release from 1988 finds The Gun Club in Berlin with producer Robin Guthrie from The Cocteau Twins at the control panel. The band; Guitarist Kid Congo Powers from The Cramps, Nick Sanderson on Drums (who later found infamy during the late 90‘s in Techno Glam Stompers Earl Brutus, a post of theirs is in the pipeline, sadly he died recently.) and bassist Romi Mori was described by Jeffrey Lee Pierce as the best band line-up he’d ever had. A bit more of a traditional rock feel to it if you ask me, but hey see what you think, or should that be hear what you think? Whatever, you know what to do…..click,click, CLICK!
