Stories from Shamehill - Same Same But Different EP

Stories from Shamehill are a three-piece from Amsterdam, and though they've been together since 2012 I believe this is their debut EP. They have a solid modern surf sound, not overdoing the reverb and keeping a good upbeat pace. My favorite is the  relentless momentum of "The Cannonball Rum Theme", though it is always nice to have a plain ol' wave-rider like "Toes on the nose, Bros".

Today's Show: Spaghetti for Thanksgiving. Plus last week's playlist

YES! I know y'all like the Halloween show but I LOVE doing Spaghetti Western stuff before thanksgiving. Or really, I love doing Spaghetti Western shows, doesn't matter when. Plenty of Morricone, sure, but a few other genuine soundtracks, some Surfaders, Los Plantronics, Moe Greene Specials, Spindrift are really going to make this a cold-blooded killer with no rules.

Blackball Bandits - Aqua Profunda EP

Just two months ago Blackball Bandits released their , which I thought was too good to be called a demo. They've also called this one a demo, and at this point they're really pushing it. This is a little bit different than the last one: not as rough-and-tumble, less punk and less spaghetti western.

The Cavaleros - Atomic EP

The Cavaleros are clearly descended from the Link Wray tree of instrumentals, with ragged blown-out guitars and, of course, a Link Wray cover right at the second song - a good one at that. The opening track essentially a cover of the Frantics' Werewolf, and a song that fits their rough attitude well. The real winner here is the one that I believe tro be an original: Chinese Takeaway. When they get to speed the Cavaleros really take off and make a furious racket.
