Night Gallery UKCR-1071
The Night Gallery label was sick. In the early years they supplied us with some serious underground new wave and up and coming metal and the murky gothic-esque stuff in between. Around 1990 they started pressing cds with a combination of these same sounds, some serving as repressings of their earlier vinyls. This cd came much later and it actually does not mention Night Gallery anywhere on it, but it uses the same UKCR catalogue system and two of the members of Trash were in Jango, who had their "It's Not Your Business" cd released by Night Gallery in 1991. I'm usually expecting a sort of generic hard rock from releases like this, and some of you may feel like that's what you are getting.. but i was actually pretty overwhelmed by the vibe here. the production is CRISP and these guys fucking rock. everyone is tight and locked in, the groove is happy and upbeat. It gives me vibes of Tri-forces' Heat Guy J soundtrack tunes, mixed with happy The Pillows vibes. If you put that in a hard rock blender you're doin alright. Dig deep. Find gems.
Buy It.
