#NowPlaying this wild new band I found the other day-- they're called The Lotts, they're from Warrington, UK, and this is their most recent EP, 'Ice Cold': thelotts.bandcamp.com/album/ic

It came out in 2022, but it sounds like it could've come out in the 60s. They also have some newer singles from 2024 on Spotify, if you choose to brave that wasteland.

At first I heard a definite Stones influence, then Beatles, both of whom were influenced Chuck Berry, who I also hear. I hear some Kinks too, and maybe even Zombies. And as @wendigo pointed out, there's some Blue Cheer in there. Great, simple blues-based fuzzed out rock with catchy, killer songs.

More of this, less of everything else.

#NowPlaying Blue Cheer's 'Vincebus Eruptum' from 1968. Thanks to @wendigo for tipping me off to this. I think I'd heard a cover of Summertime Blues but never this whole record. It's rad as FUCK. Like a more psych Sonics or almost Kinks, with some great, extreme fuzz too- bluesy psych rock or "acid rock". Mudhoney definitely took a cue or two from these guys, too. A KILLER listen.

Monday morning wake up music. #NowPlaying. HYPERDOG are from Linz, Austria and their record 'Frog Mountain' is an awesome recent find - it's become one of my favorite records from this year. Just can't stop playing it.

'Frog Mountain' took me a few listens to get into, but I kept coming back to it. (That's how I know I really like something).

I'm not a fan of intro tracks, so for me to dig an album that has an instrumental intro track that's over two minutes is saying something. But the track does speed up kinda cool, and then the next ones are kind of jangly, angular garage punk or garage rock with some new wave - I hear Devo or even something like the Plot record from last year. Fuzzy and catchy and incredible. Weird songs about PlayStations, wanting to be a ghost, or being an ant are for me.
