Xul, Mykal / Unsung Anthems Of Ken Highland & The Gizmos

Gulcher

“A great tribute to the infamous Kenne Highland et. al. gonzo rock crit band of the seventies that, despite the advent of thirty years of ‘technology’ and ‘people knowing better’ still retains the great mid-seventies punk drive that made the Gizmos household names, at least in households with subscriptions to Hustler magazine. Now, none of the songs that made the Gizmos famous are here...in a surprise move this 'un consists of nothin' but unreleased Gizmo wares that might have been done by the Afrika Korps or maybe even Slickee Boys somewhere down the line but you can't deny that the spirit of Kenne and Krew has leeched itself onto Xul's brain (and it has...just take a look at the guy's face!) giving this disque a suburban garage sprawl so real that you can just see the bikes piled up inna corner as Xul and band start to play. The surprise hit of the late summer season, even if it only clocks in at a half-hour!”—Blog To Comm
