true sons of thunder - stop and smell your face

GET READY FOR THE LOUDEST, UNRULIEST, SLEAZIEST SLAB OF GARAGE PUNK YOU'LL HEAR ALL YEAR LONG!!!!!!!
LITTLE BIG CHIEF RECORDS has unleashed the second album from the super deranged memphis supergroup TRUE SONS OF THUNDER, entitled STOP AND SMELL YOUR FACE!!!!!!!!

nobody plays RnR like this anymore, a full force maelstrom of GUITAR STRANGLING and CAVESTOMP PUMMELING, ALL SLURRED TOGETHER LIKE YER FAVORITE DRUNK MEMORIES....... this ought to be the template for GARAGE PUNK, not what most purveyors of the genre play these days......  FULL ON RAW, RAGING ROCK N ROLL that'll leave you with bruises and hangovers for days......

it doesn't even matter that TRUE SONS OF THUNDER can count former OBLIVIANS, MANATEEES, SHARP BALLOONS, BAD TIMES and LEGS troublemakers as their members, cuz THIS RECORD NEEDS NO CONTEXT!!!!!   STOP AND SMELL YOUR FACE is the kinda record IGGY AND THE STOOGES were too afraid to make, THE CRAMPS were too grounded to try and record and too WILD for even CRYPT RECORDS to press up back in the day.......

STOP AND SMELL YOUR FACE might be difficult to track down, but this is one HELLUVA RnR RIDE you need to take.......
put it on yer motherfucking bucket list.....
cuz you need to hear how feral and absolutely crazy rock n roll can get before you die.....

ONE LISTEN IS ALL IT'LL TAKE TO GET YOU HOOKED!!!!!!!!

birds of maya - celebration

so i thought BIRDS OF MAYA were no longer, but i was assured that wasn't the case, even that long after the apocalypse, they would still be here rockin' louder and more fierce than ever.......  well i didn't quite believe it since PURLING HISS and SPACIN' seemed to take up all their time these days and both the side project bands had released such killer new albums, would there be time for the band that started it all?

of course!!!  LITTLE BIG CHIEF RECORDS released CELEBRATION, a live lp, from BIRDS OF MAYA and fuckin a do these guys tear it up!!!!!!!

fans of high octane, wall of feedback, guitar bruising psych rock will most certainly need to track down this latest from BIRDS OF MAYA......  CELEBRATION channels the deepest and dirtiest of guitar rock greats, from BLUE CHEER to THE STOOGES and from FLOWER TRAVELIN BAND to HAWKWIND...... so throw out yer ZEP records and sell yer ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE lps......nobody trainwrecks garage, hard rock, japanese psych and space rock into one cosmic fireball of noise like BIRDS OF MAYA does........

maybe for the uninitiated, READY TO HOWL or VOL. 1 are better starting places, but CELEBRATION is two sides of unadultered rock n roll madness, the kind that just never gets old....

highly recommended and woefully limited to 350 copies,
you better scour the web now for a copy before it's gone for good.....

here's crossing my fingers for another BIRDS OF MAYA release and/or tour soon.
