http://pearlb4swine.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 19, 2011. The Far West - The Far West (2011). Sons of Freedom - Sons of Freedom (1988). Http:/ www.sonsoffreedom.ca/. The Saints - (I'm) Stranded (1977). Sure, it sounds like it was recorded on a RadioShack C-120 cassette in an aluminum shack during a hailstorm with the treble turned up to ten, but what a buzz this album still delivers! The Replacements - Let It Be (1984). Dom Mariani - Popsided Guitar: Anthology 1984-2004 (2005). The Someloves' only full-length Something Or Other.

Pearl Before Swine: Ryan Allen & His Extra Arms - Heart String Soul (2015)
http://pearlb4swine.blogspot.com/2015/05/ryan-allen-his-extra-arms-heart-string.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. Ryan Allen and His Extra Arms - Heart String Soul (2015). At this point in the timeline, is an old-fashioned construct. It's been over thirty years since the Ramones elegized the medium on "Do You Remember Rock and Roll Radio" and it ain't getting better. Which is to say, while Ryan Allen may want to be on the radio, and while Heart String Soul. Be on the radio, both he and his music deserve so much more. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Watts - Flash of White Light (2014).

Pearl Before Swine: Waves of Fury - Thirst (2012)
http://pearlb4swine.blogspot.com/2013/01/waves-of-fury-thirst-2012.html
Wednesday, January 23, 2013. Waves of Fury - Thirst (2012). The conceptual conceit of dark, scuzzy punk rock goosed by classic Stax/Volt horns is enough to make me do happy backflips. Forget that it’s an idea mostly borrowed from the Saints, because a) the Saints left it alone after. Waves of Fury on iTunes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Waves of Fury - Thirst (2012). Oh Mercy - Deep Heat (2012). Erin Costelo - We Can Get Over (2012). Nick Waterhouse - Times All Gone (2012). Nude Beach - II (2012).

Pearl Before Swine: March 2012
http://pearlb4swine.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 3, 2012. Baby Scream - Secret Place (2011). On their 8th album Secret Place. Baby Scream have taken some fairly common power pop influences and either by design or by accident they've managed to create something entirely unexpected. Most of that originality stems from Juan Pablo Mazzola's vocals, which occasionally resemble John Lennon at his most hushed but more often than not remind me of the Promise Ring's Davey von Bohlen (circa their moody Wood/Water. Baby Scream at CD Baby. Sounds l...

Pearl Before Swine: Watts - Flash of White Light (2014)
http://pearlb4swine.blogspot.com/2015/05/watts-flash-of-white-light-2014.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. Watts - Flash of White Light (2014). Is barely contained chaos, a wholly masculine aggression willing to duke it out on the street corner. That cover shot of an uncontrolled horde of elo kiddies setting fire to stacks of vinyl is no accident - this is music meant to incite righteously unholy humping in the streets. And amp wattage? Flash of White Light. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ryan Allen and His Extra Arms - Heart String Soul (2. Watts - Flash of White Light (2014).

Sunday, January 22, 2012. I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In The House - Menace (2002). And having a blast while they do it. When vocalist Mike D. commands "C'mon y'all, let's fuck the president! In a voice that lands squarely between Mojo's rasp and a swamp frog's croak, it's as much a gesture of solidarity with gays and lesbians as it is a fun call to arms against Bush 43. And on top of everything else, they may possess the best band name of all time. I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In The House. All You Can Eat.

Pearl Before Swine: June 2013
http://pearlb4swine.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 8, 2013. Bamboo Kids - Safe City Blues (2013). Four years after their last transmission (and seven since their last full-length), the Bamboo Kids show up with their very own London Calling. Presents a band with all the right influences wearing those influences on their collective sleeve, playing their hearts out, all while being fully aware of the futility of taking a stance like this in 2013. I tell ya, it ain't nothing but heroic. Bamboo Kids at Drug Front Records. Not That Kind Of Girl.
