Novecento - Leaving Now
When in Italy it made sense to wait for the release of a new album... Matia Bazar, Garbo, Faust'O, Mike Francis, Mango... and them, another band that has nothing to envy to the likes of Swing Out Sister, 52nd Street, Loose Ends... ;)
 
The Untold Fables - Let Me Know

From Orange County, California.

The Untold Fables were one of the many specks of stardust left by the passing of the garage-punk comet of the Eighties.

There are four of them: Paul Carey on vocals, harmonica, and maracas, Jon Niederbrach on guitar, Robert Butler on bass, and Paul Sakry on drums.

They play well for what the genre requires, so much so that their services are sought after by the entire local neogarage community, from the Fourgiven to Yard Trauma to the Miracle Workers, with whom Robert will end up playing regularly with Overdose.

It’s Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion who produces their debut album.

Lee Joseph, on the other hand, is the one who releases it, under his Dionysus label.

It’s the first album that Lee distributes for Mordam, after breaking away from Greg Shaw’s Bomp!

It’s a dirty punk record like those of Eyes (a major obsession for the band, NdLYS), Count Five, Pretty Things, and Shadows of Knight twenty years earlier, with a perfect balance between originals and period pieces, all immersed in storms of fuzz (Girl of My Own, Other Fish, Rockhead) or in tempests of maracas and cymbals (Let Me Know, Revenge, You’re Hated very close to the insane spirit of the Primates, Gone My Way). A jungle of greasy R ‘n B and killer fuzz songs.

A basket full of rattlesnakes angered by the dust burning their eyes.
 
The Bo-Weevils - Ward 28

I strongly recommend this anthology. Even the live tracks, which I usually don’t like, are really good…

THE BO-WEEVILS – Anthology (Off the Hip)
Honestly, I was completely unaware of what the Bo-Weevils released in “Phase II,” that is, after the split from Ian Hill and Stephen Anderson, the Melbourne guys who built the band on the ruins of classic garage punk, documented through tapes and records on Kavern 7. So, this double anthology is welcome as it certifies the period from ’89 to ’95. What emerges is a sound very close to the roots acid vibes of Green on Red, Rain Parade, and especially Died Pretty (Middle of Nowhere hovers around Just Skin, but the references to Ronald Peno's band are subtly present everywhere NdLYS). Not bad, I must say, especially certain Velvets-esque digressions like Planetarium or Past Lives, long raga of stagnant and noisy electricity where the band can attack their sound. An absolutely revealing and necessary collection.

I can't find the mini-review by the Reverend on this EP… what a pity…
It ended with “And no, you won't find it on Amazon.”
