We posted a track by The Legal Immigrants in our recent Monday round-up, and now we have another from them for your listening pleasure. Infusing the dirty garage band sounds of the 70s with a lo-fi analog recording, the Michigan four-piece have concocted a mean love song with their riff-heavy single Bily Goat (and that’s not a mis-spelling)! Listen / download it here. . Continue reading MM Shorts 737: The Legal Immigrants

Johnny Stewart doesn’t so much introduce himself as tear the door off the hinges with Flesh, Blood, Skin & Bone, an electrifying single steeped in the power and fire of traditional blues. Stewart’s distorted vocals rush in accompanied only by weighty foot stomps and handclaps, barely hinting at the powerful force that follows.
