On Sulfur City’s forthcoming studio album Talking Loud, which drops May 27th on Alive Naturalsound Records, the band can be found firing on all cylinders with their bluesy psychedelic rock that seems to have been transported straight from the 60′s and 70′s. Between the loose, funky organ, mind-bending guitars and drumming, and of course the ferocious vocal power of Lori Paradis, Sulfur City are cranking out music to dance and get weird to. – GLIDE MAGAZINE HERE

Soul, sincerity, passion, a unique voice, keyboard brilliance – it’s all here. What else do you need? – Jon Falcone / Vive Le Rock
Leg makes a case for the continuing relevance of styles and trends that have sadly fallen out of favor: blues, gospel, and feedback. More than that, it’s the most invigorating and outright best rock album in years — and he did it all in 36 minutes. – Travis Johnson / The Day
Below The Belt cranks out filthy, overdriven punk-rock blues with Leg’s Fender Rhodes sounding like a thousand instruments at once. His throaty vox bring to mind Tom Waits and GG Allin trading shots with a pissed-up Jim Morrison. It’s like the man’s gargling nitroglycerine or something similarly lethal. – Matt Frost / The Blues Magazine
Greasy and groovy as all hell, the whole thing’s a trip. – Gerry Ranson / R2

It’s still rock and roll to me: Tom Harrison’s album reviews here
“What kind of music do you play?”
When I was in a band, I always hated that question.
I’d answer, “Rock and roll,” knowing that said nothing. Too many eras, too many styles, and we didn’t come from or fit any of them. We were a rock and roll band for whatever that was worth.
So the brief summaries that follow are of rock and roll records leaning to some degree to blues, country, punk, garage, the ’50s,’ 60s or later. For what it’s worth.
• The Bonnevilles are a raw duo with punk, folk and blues influences on their Arrow Pierce My Heart.
Sometimes, great things come out of random collaboration. King Mud collaborated with Van Campbell from The Black Diamond Heavies and Freddy J IV from Left Lane Cruise to create Victory Motel Sessions. They joined together in LA, California for what’s described as a “marathon jam” that produced to some serious, rich hard blues. Radio Moscow’s Parker Griggs jumped in on two tracks, “Smoked All My Bud” and a great cover of the Trogg’s “I Can Only Give You Everything.” – Laura Sedor
