Starting out in a rocky vein to lead up to the big feature - the long-awaited re-issue of the debut LP from Cleveland's 15.60.75. Then touching on Post-punk, prog, and acoustic Indian improv to finish up with a few tracks from an unheralded classic of Canadian undeground music - The Melodic Energy Comission's (which Featured Del Dettmar, electronics player on the Early Hawkwind LPs!).
Starting outin the hard/heavy vein with local punk rockers Finderskeepers, and a track from their brand-new 6-track EP! Then, another play of one of the 2 tracks given for public cosumption from the as-yet-unreleased LP from local post-rock band Death Cake... and we finish up with the latest release from New Hampshire neo-proggies Dreadnaught. |
