MP3: Brimstone Howl, “Suicide Blues”
Nebraska’s kings of garage, Brimstone Howl, release Big Deal. What’s He Done Lately? on Alive Records in two weeks. However, to get your juices flowing, and raise the anticipation level for this release, we’ve got a brand-new song off that record for you all to listen to.
The album — the title of which references a quote from Johnny Ramone about Phil Spector — is the band’s fourth for Alive, and features a couple of older songs, such as “Elation” and “M60” rerecorded from their debut album and first 45, which are all of three or four years old. Their last release, the “Mammon/Solitary Man” single on Rob’s House, was absolutely gripping. Each release from these guys just gets better and better.
The band tours relentlessly, and they hit the Replay about once a year. Considering they’re from Lincoln, we could probably call them a regional act without too much of a stretch. Keep an eye out for their next stop.
