The Profile

On DeBaser, reviews cover a Lou Reed tribute, an L.A. underground compilation, an autumnal-themed set, a 1981 hard rock/NWOBHM sampler, and a curated track selection.

Notable Quotes

❝ Each track is a glorious extension of the Rock 'n' Roll Animal, always adventurous and cutting-edge.
❝ If I had to give a pure definition of underground, I would rely exclusively on those superb three pieces of genuinely "never-ending night."
❝ On the record, there is this air of dry leaves carried by the wind, from bright yellow to the decaying yellowish hue indicating the beginning of preparation for hibernation.
❝ Perfect for a kid who in 1981 wanted to discover hard rock, fun today.
