Ed Cavin & The Blue Kings - Street Joint 2018




     
Back in early 2016,the Swedish rockabilly young guns known as  Ed Cavin & The Blue Kings released a  cover version of  "Love Me" and suddenly these cats found themselves in demand.As a result they were quickly signed to the kool label, Enviken Records .In 2017 they struck again with the single,"Don't Be Like That". Once again the buzz about these cats was pretty big and they managed to garner international airplay.Now the band is back with their stout debut album "Street Joint" and this puppy more than lives up to the buzz about them. Strutin' in with 16 tracks of some pretty sweet rockabilly and real rock n rock.We get a mix of straight up rockers to boppers and even a couple of slow burners.The covers are all strong but it's some of the originals that really shine here.It's a damn solid ride that will color you impressed.Highlights include: "Street Joint", "Don't Be Like That", "Jiggle Wiggle Walkin' Baby" and a cover of " Brush Pile Burn".

     
      Ed Cavin & The Blue Kings  really deliver the goods with " Street Joint". This is one kool slab of rockabilly that leaves you wanting more You can't go wrong here,it's that good.Highly recommended !!

The Black Frame Spectacle - Kick It Around 2018



   The Black Frame Spectacle always give it their all.Hell they make killer records and when it comes to playing live,lets just say very few bands want to go on after them. Funny thing thou they sure take their time when it comes to releasing new music but boy it's always worth the wait.It's been three years since  their last release, a self titled ep. Now they are back and better than ever. Their latest  effort, " Kick It Around" cranks it up and brings on enough intensity to fuel a city. This puppy smashes the clock  with 11 original tracks that mix punkabilly ,hard rock,rocknroll  and shades of rockabilly into a  kool thrill ride.For the most part this has the pedal to the metal but they ease it back on a couple of tracks.Highlights include "The Legend Of Big Dumb Steve","Hard To Believe", "There Be Trolls","Back To The Blues" and "Kick It Around"
         
   
 The Black Frame Spectacle are a band you should definitely get familiar with and " Kick It Around" is a good starting point. This is one damn stout outfit that rocks!  Highly recommended!!
