On their 1980 release, "Sinderella", influential '60s Seattle garage rockers the Sonics showed that they could come up with material that contained as much punk rock energy as the younger bands around at the time. Age had not tamed the band, as they cranked their amps up to ten and plowed through a set of inspired, raw rock & roll. With great guitar riffing supplied by G. F.-Wallace and M. Gone (the band even thanks their Fender amplifiers in the credits), "Sinderella" is one of the few examples of an older band meshing well with the then-current musical climate. The whole album is one consistent garage rock-fest, helped by such tracks as the opening "He's Waiting," "Leavin' Here," and a ragged version of "Louie Louie" (possibly the best cover version of the tune). For fans of fun, classic garage rock, the Sonics' "Sinderella" is one of the genre's most vital releases. ~ All Music Guide

V/A HELL AIN'T A BAD PLACE TO BE ...

V/A HELL AIN'T A BAD PLACE TO BE... A tribute to AC/DC cd 1999 320 kbps

CHAPSTICK Beating Around the Bush / UPPER CRUST Back in Black / ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN High Voltage / REO SPEEDEALER Rocker / IRONBOSS Whole Lotta Rosie / ZEKE Downpayment Blues / THE DWARVES Big Balls / CHROME CRANKS Dog Eat Dog / HONKY Dirty Deeds / SUPERSUCKERS Rock and Roll Singer / LOLLLIPOP Girl's Got Rhythm / VOLTAGE Riff Raff / FUCKEMOS Thunderstuck.

Collecting bands to pay tribute to these masters of rock isn't an easy task, but when you hear the Supersuckers or The Dwarves ripping up these tunes in glorious stereo, like the rumors surrounding Franz Liszt in his day, you'll think the Devil had something to do with it.... and maybe he did.

Somewhere in Satan's kingdom, drink in hand, Bon Scott is smiling, and with the advent of this release, the horned king's bidding is done at last. Intended as a high-voltage tribute to the finest exemplars of all things bad-assed, sweat-drenched, and stone cold deafening that rock has yet seen, Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be assembles a true round table of dark knights in the sonic crusade against anemic, diluted, spineless music. Unlike most largely pointless and misguided corporate compilations thrown together by record execs doing thick rails of coke while on their cell phones, this is the real thing, the genuine article. No big hair, no sissified alterna-crap, no rap-metal crossover garbage, and definitely no korn; just a baker's dozen bands who have understood the AC/DC way of life, and method of rock since the word go.These are the true heirs to the throne. And with jaw-dropping, eye-popping artwork by renowned satanic high priest of illustration, Coop, and wicked-ass tattoo ink-slinger Dave Waugh, Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be visually drips with sex, hard rock, and more sex. But don't buy it just for the large-breasted demon chicks on the cover alone.....this fucker rocks like hell, a real kick in the teeth for a music industry long gone sour from top to bottom. For those about to rock... buy the album here.

DIMESTORE HALOES - The ghosts of saturday night

DIMESTORE HALOES Ghosts of saturday night cd 2004 320 kbps

Black glitter baby doll / City of bottles / Care too less* / Frustration / Hot pink stereo / Fastest way down / Poison rose / Tatoo black / Last of our kind / Adore me°.

Produced by D. Saiz.

Dimestore Haloes : Chaz Matthews : lead vocals & guitars / Kevin Mess : guitar, bass, piano, drums, lead vocals on* / Jake Wark : bass / Dave Weir : guitar / Jimmy Reject (R.I.

P.) : drums & lead vocals on °/ Andy Excuse : bass & hillbilly-sounding backups.

Over the years, the Dimestore Haloes from Boston, with their many singles and three prior albums, have built up a worldwide cult-like following of people who listen to various genres of music, and they did it by mixing '77 punk, rockabilly, glam, power pop, and rock 'n' roll.Throughout their time together, one issue after another never quite allowed the Haloes to achieve the rock 'n' roll domination they should have, but for those who appreciate them, they came close. This post-humus release of their last album finds the Haloes growing up some, but still with plenty of their signature catchy pop hooks and '77 snot. You also get a bit of piano, a bit more rock in their roll, and a good dose of Exile-era Rolling Stones. If anything, the Haloes were beautiful losers in the proud tradition of Johnny Thunders, ahead of their time and ready to be appreciated today. This is "The Ghosts of Saturday Night", the Dimestore Haloes fourth album, considered by many to be their best work.

In August of 2006, Haloes drummer Jimmy Reject took his own life. Jimmy has two books available here.

After the end of the band , Chaz Matthews, former front man of the Haloes, has recorded a solo album called "Amazing Graceless" available here .

OLD RECORDS NEVER DIE : THE FROST - Rock and roll music

OLD RECORDS NEVER DIE : THE FROST Rock and roll music cd 1969 320 kbps

Rock and roll music / Sweet lady love / Linda / Black train / Help me baby / Donny's blues / We got to get out of this place.

Produced by S. Charters.

The Frost : D. Wagner : lead guitar & vocals / D. Hartman : rhythm guitar, harmonica & vocals / G. Garris : bass & vocals / B. Rigg : drums .

The Frost's second album on Vanguard, Rock and Roll Music, has the 1969 Dick Wagner four years before he would tour as part of the Lou Reed Rock & Roll Animal Band. The title track, recorded live at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit by engineer Ed Friedner, has an incessant chant over a bellowing guitar foundation. It is a good, raw picture of early Wagner music, a vital document of a Michigan band that helped shape that scene. "Sweet Lady Love" is the group in the recording studio with a tune that rocks like latter day Guess Who around the time of their Live at the Paramount LP. Producer Sam Charters balances the live tracks with the studio ones, á la John Simon's vision for Janis Joplin's Cheap Thrills. An acoustic ballad, "Linda," is placed in between that hard rock and is a far cry from the nice madness of side two's live tracks. In fact, the delicacy of Dick Wagner's voice and guitar playing might've found some chart action if it wasn't put in the context of a near metal album. Wagner sounds more like a British folky, say solo Paul McCartney, than American contemporary songwriters/singers James Taylor and Jonathan Edwards. "Linda" also sounds more like the type of music one would expect to hear on Vanguard. The parallels between Lou Reed and Frost cannot be ignored. Reed's signature tunes during RR Animal were "Sweet Jane," "Lady Day," and "Rock & Roll." Wagner's titles, "Rock and Roll Music" and "Sweet Lady Love," are side by side here -- just an eerie premonition of the shape of things to come. "Black Train" on this album has the same vibe as the Velvet Underground's "Train Coming Round the Bend" off of Loaded, though the style and melody are different. "Help Me Baby," on the other hand, has a throbbing Blue Cheer bassline from co-singer and bassist Gordy Garris and rhythm guitarist Don Hartman, as well as a Grand Funk style blitz. "Donny's Blues" opens side two, almost eight minutes of the band vamping with Hartman on vocals and harmonica. It melts into the song the Animals made famous for Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, "We Gotta Get Out of This Place." Vanguard should go through the vaults and expand the live segments of this recording. One can feel the framework which would benefit Alice Cooper when the Rock & Roll Animal Band moved on to back that rock star. And Dick Wagner played a big role in writing some of Alice's biggest hits when they collaborated. The Frost has glimpses of the sound that would be so instrumental in defining '70s hard rock.

"This sophomore release by the Daggers, now known as the Slash City Daggers, delivers blues-y, glam punk rocknroll produced by Jeff Dahl . It's raunchy rhythms are so infectious that this album is being billed as 2001's answer to the New York Dolls." Insound

"Punknroll has group sex with the Stooges, New York Dolls, and GnR to create the Daggers. It's really catchy and fun to rock out to while tapping your feet, sneering and trying to look cooler than you really are." Maximum Rock N Roll
