This release from Rhode Island’s Detroit Rebellion offers four tunes of garage blues with a cool, live in the studio sound. While the simplistic approach at the heart of the subgenre usually relies on plenty of slide guitar antics with which to engage the audience, these guys are a little different. Yes, they have slide guitar, but it doesn’t always provide the dominant feature. They may not have the upbeat rock ‘n’ blues grooves of Black Pistol Fire; nor do they ever go for the jugular in the way that first two Dead Exs records do, but in their understated way, these four tunes have their own sense of attitude, something heightened further by the basic recording techniques.
Real Gone Exclusive: New video from Young Hines
In 2012, singer-songwriter Young Hines released his debut solo album, the Brendan Benson produced ‘Give Me My Change’ via Readymade Records in the US and Lojinx in the UK/Europe.
In on-going promotion for the record, he now has a new video for the track ‘Don’t Break My Fall’, which can now be seen below.
Here are few words from Mr. Hines regarding the song:
World Party: UK live dates and new track!
Following last year’s 5CD career retrospective ‘Arkeology’, Karl Wallinger is taking World Party on the road for the first time in twelve years.
Travelling with David Duffy (mandolin/violin) and John Turnbull (electric guitar), Wallinger is giving fans a chance to hear World Party classics played in a new way for the first time.
Post War Glamour Girls: new single and tour news
Leeds noisemakers and Real Gone favourites Post War Glamour Girls have a new single out on 15th April.
The two track release is the first for the I Like (ILR) record label and features ‘Jazz Funerals’ (a PWGG original) with the band’s twisted take on Robert Palmer’s ‘Johnny & Mary’ on the b-side. According to the band’s press, the Palmer cover “reimagines the memorable synth line as a broken and gnarled guitar riff”.
Copies of the 7″ are limited to 451 copies and can be purchased from the ILR shop.
APERIODIC – Future Feedback
Supposedly, Aperiodic’s debut album resembles The Jesus Lizard twisted out of recognition. Such a premise would be an interesting one, if somewhat unsettling. Despite claims that their free-form jams aren’t completely directionless, what this band’s debut full length album actually delivers is approximately forty minutes worth of lo-fi, extreme free jazz rambling. With bass only intermittently audible and no obvious lead parts except for the drums, it seems these guys’ main agenda is to try and alienate even the most patient of listeners – even those who feel they have an openness to the more extreme forms of alternative and avant-garde music.
