adam widener - vesuvio nights

get ready for SPEAKERTREE RECORDS' latest smash hit, the debut album from ADAM WIDENER, "VESUVIO NIGHTS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  maybe you've seen adam play in one of his former bands, PLEXI 3, ZYGOTEENS and/or BARE WIRES, or maybe not...but his solo RnR is something YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO CHECK OUT NOW!!!!!!!

part 70s punk / part hazy garage pop with a little bit of a art bent new wave gloss and a nice sprinkling of glam sparkle, ADAM WIDENER's new lp VESUVIO NIGHTS might need a new genre classification... perhaps it ought to be called MOD PUNK or JANGLE WAVE.... but this lp is for sure one that needs yer attention.   it's love / debt to PAUL COLLINS BEAT, RICHARD HELL, THE UNDERTONES, THE JAM and 20/20 can't be overlooked and in fact just adds to its analogue charm and infectious melodic charge.....leaving you wanting more and more.......

fans of WARM SODA, GLITZ, ANDY HUMAN, NEEDLES // PINS, SAM COFFEY, COZY, GENTLEMAN JESSE and SLUSHY (aka all those kids taking punk, glam and bubblegum and making music LOUD, FUN AND STICKY SWEET AGAIN) will definitely get way HOOKED on VESUVIO NIGHTS.......

so yeah stop complaining you got nothing new to listen to cuz ADAM WIDENER is here with 14 new power popped punk jams to brighten yer day!!!!!!!

the ar-kaics - she does those things to me 7in

you maybe haven't heard of the latest and greatest fuzzed up garage rockin' sensation, the AR-KAICS, yet....but you will.....!!!!!  this cavestompin' teenbeat three piece is from richmond, virginia and just released their debut 7 inch via SPEAKERTREE RECORDS....and um yeah it's a fucking budget rock ripper!!!!!!!!

housed in an old school generic white sleeve and labeled with a simple retro yellow label, this AR-KAICS single could be mistaken for some lost garage punk gem of '66........even after you spin it.......

those pebbles / back from the grave junkies like me will undoubtedly NEED this double shot of primal unwieldy garage rock now......SHE DOES THOSE THINGS TO ME and DON'T NEED YOUR LOVE channel the best blown out rock n roll moments of THE SEEDS, THE KEGGS, THE SONICS, LOLLIPOP SHOPPE and all those other late 60s garage punk unknowns!!!!!!  seriously, the AR-KAICS have THE GARAGE ROCK SOUND dialed the fuck in.......  this is not some pretend bullshit RnR, these guys are the real deal!!!

file this one next to the MUMMIES, THEE HEADCOATS, TY SEGALL, DRAGS, BLACK TIME and/or THE GREENHORNES..........cuz this single comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!  i'm crossing my fingers for full length, or at least a tour through chicago.......

LISTEN TO THE A SIDE OF THEIR NEW SINGLE BELOW -
