Electric Aborigines
words by Stuart Stubbs
Brooklyn’s Awesome Color could have only ever signed to Thurston Moore’s garage rock label, Ecstatic Peace!. First of all there’s that totally rad name! Then there’s the fact that ‘Electric Aborigines’ demonstrates how this trio play psych-rock that’d hold its own in the days of Iggy smearing peanut butter all over his skinny bod. Yep, this is an album of late 60s/early 70s good old fashioned R’n’R, beckoning us to ‘Come and Dance’ and ‘Do It Right’. With a Stones-esque sexual simplicity that few achieve, someone buy this for Cage The Elephant.7/10 in stores now

Vivian Girls - Vivian Girls
One of Vivian Girls is called Kickball Katy. She plays bass even more nonchalantly than your average Valium-scoffing four-stringer.
Plastic Passion - Contrived Imagery
They're saying that punk's dead, y'know? Spiritually, if not physically.
Wetdog - Enterprise Reversal
Had ‘Enterprise Reversal’ been a five track EP of a release its toneless blahs from lead shouter Rivka Gillieron would have still been a struggle to sit through.
