Rock and Roll may not be dead, but it does seem like there’s a priest leaning over its bed, reciting the last rites. However, if The Silks have anything to do with it, the body will soon be out of bed, bopping around the room.

This album exudes culture, deep knowledge , and above all , love and devotion to those golden years and, yes, all the imagery it represents : nice cars , most beautiful girls, parties on the beach, Elvis, flights to Hawaii at the TWA , toupees , but above all , beautiful songs of primal rock and roll

Jesus Sons out of Los Angeles California playing a mix of alternative. rock & roll, folk, garage rock, and psychedelic. Their bio states;



The songs that Jesus Sons write serve as explicit documentation of living in modern day America. The lyrics are filled with shady characters from the back streets of San Francisco and beyond. The ones lurking in the shady corners of your local watering hole, taking long drags off their cigarettes. Their breath stained of cheap whiskey. The music is the product of each members’ geographical origins colliding together

Bobby T. and the Slackers from Los Angles playing a mix of alternative, garage, punk, lo-fi, psychedelic, and surf rock. Their bio states nothing, but they do say they will play your bar mitzvah.
