 Conn, with his mocking sneer and angelic hiss, parodies the American empire and mocks the vacuousness of the star system.

 'Rise Up!' is a power ballad that explodes into an aseptic disco mutation; from jazzy lounge delight to disdainful bossa nova.

Bobby Conn's 1998 album 'Rise Up!' is a daring, eclectic mix of glam punk, disco, and avant-funk rooted in sharp social commentary. The review highlights Conn's theatrical persona and musically chameleonic style. The production, potentially linked to Jim O'Rourke, adds refinement to the album's raw edge. 'Rise Up!' stands out as a significant and iconoclastic work with lasting appeal for Generation X and beyond. Listen to Bobby Conn’s 'Rise Up!' for a bold mix of genres and sharp social commentary that defines an iconic alternative classic.

 Warm Drag is an organic pastiche. The charm is largely enclosed in its seemingly poor sound: analog, synthesized, automated coexist and merge into one another.

 In tune with the metropolitan decadence of the scenarios it evokes, this work (seductive, menacing and restless) attests to the clear hallucination of rock that still slightly trembles and sparkles.

The duo crafts a unique sound marked by layered distortions, seductive vocals, and an urgent, restless energy. The album honors pioneers like Suicide and Blondie while forging its own underground identity. This work’s analog and synthesized textures create a hypnotic, retro-futuristic atmosphere. Overall, it’s a compelling and evocative blend that captivates from start to finish. Discover Warm Drag’s unique fusion of electro-punk and dub – listen to their daring 2018 debut album now!
