Holy shitake, new music from Bakersfield, Bristol, San Fran and L.A. - By N.L. Belardes

Holy shit I think I’m going to wet myself. I’ve been listening to the best music lately. One album I bought. That doesn’t count for a review copy but I say heck, I’ll review it anyways. It’s Birdmonster’s album, No Midnight. They're out of San Francisco. Another I also bought but I plan on reviewing is some straight up raw punk: Bakersfield’s The 28s album What a Joke. You already read my review of The Filthies Your Turn. Holy shitake. And then there’s Better Angels of Our Nature by Bristol, England’s Seagull Strange. I promised them an interview. They found me on the web and shipped their just released album over. Damn it’s good. Another big gem I just got in the mail and I have goosbumps. I mean, real honest-to-goodness goosebumps. One of my favorite bands out of L.A. is World Wide Spies. It’s their 80s licks and jovial attitude. JFK rocks. He's the band's lead man, a sarcastic-filled witty Brit who always has a dozen stories to tell. The guys are damn cool to say the least. They have a new album coming out called Images of Black & White. I’m spinning the album, but had to take a break. I'm only on song three. If the album goes downhill I’ll be surprised. I think it’s starting off as an instant New New Wave classic. Shit. Gotta get back to work… expect a slew of reviews and an announcement very soon about my new column titled "North of Hollywood" that's coming in the February edition of Big Wheel Magazine… Holy shitake!
