Hello all!
Over the course of the past few weeks I have worked on a small handful of reviews and music news pieces that I think many of you will like. First, there's the new 17-song album, "7 Devils," by gutterbilly hobocore band The Goddamn Gallows. Then we have a write-up on Reverend Peyton's tribute album to legendary bluesman Charley Patton, titled "Peyton on Patton." Next there's the new self-titled solo debut by Tiger Army frontman Nick 13. After that we have another installment in the One-Man Band Series -- #20, in fact -- with an article/interview with Australian one-man band Anto Macaroni, who goes by the moniker Made for Chickens by Robots. As things wind down a bit, there is a little announcement on the upcoming Deep Blues Festival in Ohio, and a review of bluesman Kenny Brown's two-disc release on Devil Down Records, titled "Can't Stay Long." Etc. Check out the links (below).

Ok. That about does it for now. In the coming days, weeks and months, however, there will be a shitload of press comin' your way from my end, with interviews with Dirty Trainload, El Bastardo, Bob Wayne, The Goddamn Gallows, Stomping Nick, Reverend Deadeye, The Dad Horse Experience, The Ghostwrite, The Haymarket Squares, Black River Bandit, and others. And I will be serving up reviews on the likes of The Juke Joint Pimps, Cajun Country Revival, The Dad Horse Experience, Joe Crookston, The Twilight Broadcast, Strung Out, and more. Also, and lastly, my interview with guitarist Ralph Spight of Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine was featured on the cover Punk Globe's July 2011 issue. Check it out.

As always, thank you all for your continued interest and support! Without a readership I wouldn't have a reason to keep writing these articles and interviewing these artists. Obscure music needs more people like you, who do their part to keep the scene alive and well. So again, thank you!
