Sloppy Seconds - More Trouble Than They're Worth (1998)

GENRE : punk rock, junk rock, punk pop, rock n roll

RECORD LABEL : Nitro Records

Sloppy Seconds are a junk rock (that's right, junk rock) band from Indiannapolis, Indiana, and this is their Nitro Records debut album. I don't know how many times I've listened to this album in my life, and I've never got sick of it. It's exciting, hilarious and fun. Like a lot of people, I first discovered this band through the 90's Nitro Records compilation album, 'Deep Thoughts', and I've loved them ever since. This album is full of wild and sloppy (yet energetic) punk songs about hot chicks, B-monsters, crappy relationships and getting drunk. They're angry, witty and cool as f**k. If you like The Ramones, KISS and The Misfits, then this band might be right up your alley...

'More Trouble Than They're Worth' is available on all the common music platforms - Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, etc...

Lola Pistola - Lizard EP (2020)

 

GENRE : alternative grunge, alternative rock, punk, rock n roll

RECORD LABEL : self-released

Crushing is the word that instantly came into my head when I heard this, and the same word that remained in my head after the four songs were over. This is heavy, ballsy, thunderous rock n' roll that not only shakes the walls - it destroys the walls.

Lola Pistola is a two-person alt-grunge rock n roll band, consisting Brooklyn-based songwriter/musician Lola Pistola on vocals/guitars, and Robert Preston Collum on drums. I'd personally like to hear some bass in this band, but it's certainly awesome as is. The vocals are fierce yet melodic, and the instrumentation is intensely heavy. I love it. 

I think that fans of Torche, Kyuss and P.J Harvey will dig this EP.

The Knee-His - Action! (2021)

 

GENRE : power pop, pop punk, punk, rock n roll, vintage rock

RECORD LABEL : self-released

I'm a sucker for good power-pop bands, especially female power-pop bands. The Knee-His are a cool 4-piece band from Chicago, and whilst I don't think they're going to win any prizes for originality, they should win all the prizes for awesomeness. They write simple, infectious rock n roll power-pop goodness.

I loved the two individual songs they've released on Bandcamp so far, and I can see on their social media pages that their debut full-length album is on its way! The world needs more bands like The Knee-His.
