What's the score?


We're half way through 2010, what has this year brought me? Items released this year adds up to 41, that's thirteen LP's, twentyfive 7"s, two 12"s and one 10". Zooming in on the LP's, there are 3 comps ( Brazilian Guitar Fuzz Bananas, Our Boy Roy and Party Platter. And there's three albums from the old days; Tunnel Of Love, Range Rats (pre Dead Moon) and The Outsiders. From the bands that released albums this year I'm gonna pick Capputtini il Lignu a duo from Italy/France. Cheb Samir's on vocals, guitar and drums, Cri on vocals and guitar. Blues is what this all about. There's the more traditional approach on some tracks, repeating mid-tempo songs, nothing to brag about, but solid. On "Bite In The Neck Blues" they gear up to the next level, a raw stomping beat, great riffs, dark voxs. "Wang Dang Doodle" is a fantastic hipshaker. In the end this is a real fun album, enough variation to keep my attention.
It's released on Jeetkune Records from Italy.
