King Tuff: Black Moon Spell

By Jester Jay Goldman
October 9, 2014
in :  Music, Music Reviews

[xrr rating=3.5/5]Here’s the pitch: We’ll raise T. Rex’s Marc Bolan from the dead and partner him up with the Cramps, then polish the act to create the perfect bubblegum pop band for a Saturday morning kids’ cartoon series.

June 4, 2012
in :  Music, Music Reviews, Recommended, Recommended Music

[xrr rating=4.0/5]Most critics and audiences in 2012 have come to understand that rock ‘n’ roll’s rebellious leanings are now foggy images in history’s rearview mirror. Even in 1976, critics were pointing to the stagnation of rock music; as Lester Bangs said, “It’s no lament to say that the future lies behind us.” Rock music, especially what is now considered classic …
