***Just out in the USA is a new 45 by The VanCooths, formerly from Breda (Netherlands). After two LPs and a 12" there's now a 45 with two blistering bangers to annoy your neighbors and control the strength over your ceiling! "One Day In Rome" combines girlie, snarly pop punk with hardcore breaks, psychedelic intermezzo's and even some crude Wilson like freebasing. "Where Julius Caesar was betrayed there's a dealer gettin' paid". Cool! "No Security" is a true punk banger. "The system is a fraud of mankind's greed".

***Unearthed 1977 and 1980 recordings from THE SHADES front man DENNIS DALCIN! After The Shades, Dalcin went on to form the mod influenced THE LEARS and ran the Kaleidoscope 'zine and label in the '80s. The A-side "Hypnotic Beat," is a trippy psychedelic surf monster recorded in 1980 by The Shades at Paragon Studios in Tampa, FL. The flipside has two snotty garage punkers by a "recording entity only" in 1977 at Recnac Studios in Tampa. All three are Dalcin originals.

***"Budget rock will never die! After a fistful of releases on labels such as Slovenly/Black Gladiator, Red Lounge, Pelican Pow Wow, Total Punk and others, GINO AND THE GOONS have joined the Certified PR Records roster of All-Stars. Different than their previous Garage Rock/Rip Off Records styled output, this single shows The 'Goons at their SLEAZIEST! In the beginning "Head Goon", GINO BAMBINO wrote all of the bands' original material. Their last full length Rip It Up on SunWray Records had Gino and "Bass Goon", T-BONE JONES sharing the writing and singing responsibilities 50/50. This time around T-Bone wrote both sludge stompers that sound like something oozing out of The Dogs or DMZ catalogs. Not that it matters. As Gino puts it, 'Either way you look at it they are all GOONS TOONS!! So turn it up loud and go crazy!!!'

***"I have been calling BRUISER QUEEN the pride of St. Louis for some time and their new album Heavy High on Certified PR Records is making me look like a Certified Genius and a bonafide prognosticator. How am I doing? Thanks for asking. I’m doing great because this album blasts off with the song 'Sugar High,' which makes me feel like I’m on a SUGAR HIGH. 'Sugar High' is a great song to open this album up with and becomes a 'gateway drug/song' to 10 more power pop songs. Yes. I said it. Power Pop. This band has graduated with high honors from just being called a garage rock band. Bruiser Queen has 'poshed' up their sound and style and it is appropriate that this new album was pressed on opaque blue vinyl at the brand new Third Man plant in Detroit! Double sided insert, full color center labels, full color jackets, even shrink wrapped this time! This folks, is very posh packaging. Songs that stand out to me on this album and scream future top 40 hits are 'Telepathic Mind,' 'Teenage Fire' (which has a great sneaky surf rock vibe to it), 'Have Fun' (which I could see in a alternate timeline Blondie performing on the Midnight Special), 'Here Lies My Heart,' which reminds me of the band LUSH. So, does this mean Bruiser Queen are 'St. Louisgaze'? 'The Way I Love You' I will label 'ferocious posh'. Don’t let the fact this band has gotten a little more...
