Cheap Gunslingers – S/T (Rum Bar Records)
Such is my coverage of Rum Bar Records’ bands, it’s getting to the point where people will wonder whether there’s a little bit of payola in progress. I can assure you that is not the…

Guitar Wolf – LOVE&JETT (Third Man Records)

Jordan Jones – S/T (Spaghetty Town Records / Beluga Records)
