Brimstone Solar Radiation Band


"If Lynyrd Skynyrd had starred in Hair, instead of a bunch of dancing hippies, or if Steve Earle had sung in Jefferson Airplane, maybe it would have sounded something like Solstice, The Brimstone Solar Radiation Bands second album. On their first record they painted the sky orange, on Solstice theyve decorated the rest of the landscape with a colourful outcome. The cowboy landscape is just as present on this album as on the latter, but it seems more like a scene from Yellow Submarine rather than Lucky Luke. Solstice marks both the longest and shortest day of the year, The Brimstone s Solstice sounds like an offering to the sun on the sunniest day of the year. The band has grown quite a lot since last time, their debut was more than promising, but this record reveals a band that has complete control of what theyre doing. They dont just operate in a genre, they own it, the handiwork is impeccable and the creativity in a league of its own. In short terms you dont need much more than The Brimstones Solstice and a spot of sunshine to secure a successful summer holiday. The Brimstone Solar Radiation Band" ~ MySpace

zZz



"zZz is the sleazy steamin' locomotive barreling out of Amsterdam-a city, if ever there was one,that needs no introduction. By combining the doom-laden vocals of the late Ian Curtis and thedark comedic psychobilly madnezZz of Cramps singer Lux Interior, a monstrous thunder is letloose. Organ, drums and vocals is all it takes for this duo to serve up their Molotov cocktail of violent trance, psychedelic electro wave, garage soul and dirty rock & roll." ~ Sound of zZz
