PREACHER'S KIDS
Wild Emotions
And, it??s about zero bones short of classic, baby. Entitled Wild Emotions, the Preacher¹s Kids recorded this three-guitar battering ram with Bruce Watson (producer of T-Model Ford, R.L. Burnside, and others) at the Money Shot out in the wilds of Water Valley, Mississippi. The sounds Tyler Keith and his band of fierce rock n?? roll acolytes laid down out there in the sticks are jaw-droppingly great. Primal, raw and unaffected, Wild Emotions is plugged into some brilliant psychic wall-socket in which the band??s influences -- The Flamin?? Groovies, The Real Kids, The New York Dolls, Mott The Hoople, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Chocolate Watchband, The Sonics, The Faces, and a gazillion punk, garage, Merseybeat, and psychedelic bands all effortlessly combine into one gleaming, white-hot silver rail of pristine electric rock n?? roll heat. It??s feverish. And, it??s cool. And, best of all, Tyler Keith??s songs are righteous and true and achingly alive. Their blast-furnace version of ³Summertime² by Boston punk legends Unnatural Axe is just as incredible, too. Here is a testament to the power of the beat! Here is the once and forevermore rock and roll beat! Writ large, played loud, cut hot, and lived tough, if this record doesn??t get you up on your feet or down in a bottle again, then, mister, you??d just better go back to those Dan Fogelberg records in the back of your closet, ??cause it just ain??t gonna happen for you. Can you dig it? (The Preacher??s Kids features ex-Neckbones guitarist and singer Tyler Keith accompanied by drummer Frank Coutch and bassist Laurie Stirratt, both ex-members of the legendary Americana/alt-country band Blue Mountain, along with fave rave guitarists and volume scientists Pat Cochran and Dru Dunnaway.)- Format

RAZZELS
I Can'T Forget About You/Excuse Me + 1
Three songs that blend an energetic pop/punk sound with several influences from the past 20 years or so. ''Can??t Forget About You'' sounds a bit like Husker Du without the heavy-duty guitar stylings. ''Excuse Me'' features a Ramones feel with more pop punk feel while ''Outta My Head'' fits the mold of a classic pop-punk number.- Format

SILVER TONGUED DEVIL
Red-Eyed And Tongue-Tied
Boiling out of the steel mills and storm drains of Pittsburgh, Silver Tongued Devil now brings their high energy, over the top rock ??n?? roll to the masses! Arising from the ashes of Eviction and Get Hip recording artist Pilsner, these maniac rockers draw their volatile style from the classic sounds of The Stooges, The Ramones and Motorhead. Mix that with the newer rock sounds of New Bomb Turks and The Hellacopters and STD has it??s own blend of asphalt burning madness. Five bad ass, beer-swilling lunatics who shout about riots, gasoline, and chicks, these muthas really deliver the goods!- Format

SPECTORS
That Girl Is Leaving Town/I Fell In Love
Two great pop inspired songs with ??60s overtones each taking on a different character. ''That Girl I Leaving Town'' could have easily been a hit on AM radio in the mid-??60s with it??s refreshing background vocals and light melody. ''I Fell In Love'' is more inspired by the heavier garage sound and sounds a bit more contemporary.- Format

I'M Tired/Automobile
