THE LAPPES – Lappe It Up EP
Formed at the beginning of 2013 New Jersey quartet The Lappes seemingly wasted no time in applying themselves to the creation of fine tunage. In under a year, they perfected their signature sound – a fine, fine blend of roots rock, folk and a touch of country – and entered the studio; the resulting debut EP, ‘Lappe It Up’, sounding like the work of seasoned pros.

GONE – Gone II: But Never Too Gone!
Between work with Black Flag in the mid 80s Greg Ginn formed Gone, an instrumental outfit which took the power of his main band’s latter day approach and tempered it with funk and jazz influences. Their first album (‘Let’s Get Real, Real Gone For a Change’) was a low budget showcase of garage rock style, with often discordant guitars – always easily identifiable as Ginn’s work – playing over groove-led, funky but not always especially tight rhythms. This second album, a more than predictable continuation of Gone’s signature sound, shows no dramatic shift from that debut’s ideas. Some of the recording techniques may be slightly more primitive than those before, but at the heart of it all, remains Ginn’s unmistakable style.
