For a while Bazooka Joe was spamming his Facebook friends with his new label, Black Gladiator: he was gonna put out some great records; Tunnel Of Love lp and a 7" by Rex Ruffin and the Lo-Fi Jerkheads. Tunnel Of Love "Rockin'Rollin'Bitches" was released on cd in 2002 and now, for the first time it's available on vinyl. Joe was pretty sure this is THEE punk-release of 2010. His label is connected to Slovenly Recordings and in my world that's a great label. So, when my dealer had it in the upcoming lists I ordered it. And man, was I blown away by this record. 14 tracks clocking at 25 minutes. And IMHO just punk doesn't do it right. It's true basement punk, rockin' hard. It's no hardcore, I'm not into that, but hell, this is dirty punk'n'roll. You can check 'em out on their myspace, or their own site but it doesn't do 'em well, it sounds great from vinyl. Go get the record if you're into Oblivians, AC/DC, Guitar Wolf... Joe, you were right, thanx!!!
