Bar Nickels

Kick-ass melding of punk, hardcore, psyche and rock. Nicely recorded w/ overdrive and general noisiness that makes it believable and raw. Noise leads, guitar/bass/drums recipe w/ good male vocs that don’t fall into any clichés associated w/ the above listed genres. Great rockin stuff, heavy in all the right places. For fans of Minutemen, Nebula, Die Kreuzen, Dream Syndicate, Neptune.
