Search - Sons of Hercules :: Get Lost

WOW!

"I'd heard about these guys via the NYC scene, and was bowled over by this CD. Almost all of the songs are channeling Iggy and NY Dolls, which is not something many bands can pull off. The drumming and bass playing are incredible, and the songwriting is sharp with many hooks. Looks like the bass player wrote some on his own, and his are very, very good songs. I saw them live not long ago, and they have a different line up (bass and guitar), which I discovered is nothing new for the Sons. The new guys sounded pretty good, but the playing on 'Get Lost" must've been something to see live with the "Get Lost" version. Anyway, I'd suggest that you buy this CD if you like Dolls, Iggy, Garage or rock & roll."

3rd Album And Still Going Strong!

"This is a great garage-punk record that you gotta have. The hooks get stuck in your head almost as soon as you turn it up. Every songs a winner. Although it could use beefier production don't let it persuade you to pass this album up. It's not as lo-fi as all these reviews would have you imagine. Although this is a great album of theres I urge you to check out ther first two as well."

They ain't fakin' it...this is the real thing, baby!

"Rock & Roll ain't dead...this is the proof.This is the group's third effort to date, and it's adrenalized in your face street walking beat your brains in rock & roll - in short, their best!The band cuts through the lousy production, reaches out from the speakers, grabs you by the throat, shakes you, breaks you, and throws you in a sweaty pile of Rock & Roll...Phillip Plyler (bass) writes tunes the NY Dolls and Iggy wish they'd had in their songbooks. Check out the Byrds cover, too. Frank Pugliese sings, screams, and bleeds for you, so if you don't buy this, you're a wimp."
