Fifty Foot Combo - S/T 2016

Fifty Foot Combo, the kings of "Monstrophonic" sound are back and ready to kick ass in a big way. If you don't know who Fifty Foot Combo  are you should. Back in 2006 and after 6 albums these kats packed it in. Their brand of wild garage,surf and trashy rock n roll had made them one of the best bands out there.They were popular ,had a killer rep,were in your face and they always delivered the goods.Back in 2012 the band got back to together and started playing gigs .In 2014 they really started to get out and have released a couple of singles (2014, 2016) with guest vocalist.Now in 2016 they're back with a self titled album,their first  since 2004. So the big question is it any good.While hell yeah, it's damn good and these kats aren't holding back.We get 13 tracks of kool, at times raw and intense garage/surf  rock n roll.In other words just what you would expect. From wall of sound to spaghetti infused to garage to surf and  a little psychedelic the band covers a lot of ground and does it well.Hell we even get 2 versions of "Wild Man"  Highlights include : "Accident Or Incident", "Decompression", "The Maker" and "The Descent"

        
    Fifty Foot Combo are on a mission here and this is right up there with their best works.Not a easy feat.This is loud, proud and just killer rock n roll.Highly Recommended!!!

Mike Fantom & The Bop a-tones - Too Hot Too Bop 2016

In late 2015 I started hearing rumblings of this killer rockabilly band ,Mike Fantom & The Bop a-tones out of Belgium .They have been tearing it up since  2009 and the constant words used to describe them were and are  wild, desperate,raw and exciting.Well lets just say these kats live up to that buzz. Hell to be honest with you my expectations were  set high and I was still kinda blowin' away. That said the band's debut album has washed ashore and it's a straight up killer disc.This puppy struts in with 13 tracks of wild rockabilly and 50's  rock n roll that will knock your socks off.There is nothing here not to like.Highlights include: "Guitar Breaker", " Too Hot Too Bop", I've Gotta Find Someone" and "Vampire Baby".
 

      With " Too Hot Too Bop"   Mike Fantom & The Bop a-tones have released an album that is brisk, infectious and pretty damn kool.This is a straight up winner and well worth checking out. You will be glad you did .Highly recommended!!!
