The 2016 Rival Sons album Hollow Bones has one heck of a cover! The Southern Californian rock band’s 5th LP is perhaps their finest work. Mojo magazine said “meaty and time-honoured blues extractions the four-square Zeppelinism.” Love Black Coffee. rivalsons.com |

The Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci album Gorky 5 is 20 years old today! The 5th album, shock horror, by the Welsh band continued the crazy almost psychedelic journey of pop indie music. A collection of playful melodies, hypnotic instrumentals and musically warped. |
