Just on a first spin basis, this sampler has allot of good energy. Its got a gritty blues rock garage feel to it. quite a variety on this collection. Brimstone Howl reminds me of a Rockabilly Ramones outfit, The Nerves are a fresh throw back to 1960's rock and roll, kind of like The Beatles or The Monkies. Thomas Function reminds me a little of the pixies with a more catchy rock and roll rhythm. Left Lane Cruiser is another cool rocking dirty blues band. I would liken it to a White Stripes/Canned Heat/Eagles of Death Metal -ESK take on the blues, a foot stompin, Slide picking, cowbell rockin, driving Blues, awesome track. Black Diamond Heavies is along the same lines as Left Lane Cruiser, A great hard rock take on the blues. they fire up the grit on all cylinders. I honestly wasn't too big on the first three tracks, but every track after that are OUTSTANDING works that Deserve a spin.
