THE DAMNED – Friday 13th EP 2013

now/UK/legend

The Damned must have been through approximately a million line-ups, but the Vanian/Sensible/Scabies/Gray line-up has always been my favourite, and this EP as an example of just how good they were in the early 80s.

In spite of the silly lyrics, (“Take my hand, disco man/Are you just a one night stand?”) it’s so fun and infectious that it can get away with it. (more…)

ALLHAZERED – ALLHAZERED 2012

now/germany

ALL HAZE RED is a German rock ´n´roll band influenced by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath with obvious hints of contemporary groups like Clutch or Grand Magus. The four creative guys blow out a sound around stoner and vintage blues rock. Hippie-alike guitar riffs are barely able to tame the omnipresent rock steamhammer and are going to be blown into the nirvana by vocals swinging between raspy shouts and bluesy hooklines. (more…)
