"I've been reading these great books by Ned Sublette about the history of New Orleans and Cuba (see the Hound blog here : http://thehoundblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/ned-sublette.html) & getting interested in his idea of Cuban music as "The other great tradition" that largely gets ignored in discussing American music since the U.S cut off communication after the revolution in 1959. Digging into this I've put a few comps together (with plenty more to come)". - Johnny Q.

Memphis' enigmatic emissaries of twang, IMPALA are back with their frenzied full-length follow-up to last years smokin' "Kings Of The Strip" ep...the "Square Jungle" LP/CD! This bourbon fueled bar burner features Twelve brand new all-instro meltdowns recorded by Mr. Roland James at the one and only Sam Phillips Recording Studios and runs the rails from sleek n' sultry sleaze-o-phonic saxophone work-outs to rough n' ready telecaster twistfests...each one sure to cause the bottles to tip and the sauce to flow. Be it low key or no key these cats score aces across the board for belting it out with more than enough flair ta spare! So remember, when the last blink of that rusty neon sign catches yer eye and some stormy snakecharmer's leading you from the doorstep of some smoky dive...you'd be wise ta have a copy of IMPALA "Square Jungle" waitin' on ice at the pad dad...dig? - Estrus

...Formed in 2013 by Chris Hack they've been performing local venues and touring when possible. They have had several releases since their debut, including their first official EP 7" Swamp Terror, in 2017. In 2023 Katatonics released their self-titled album which received the Punk Rock Night of Indianapolis award for best local release. The latest single EP release "Panther in the Sky" has been released independently through the band's house studio KATBAT Records. This latest release reflects the most recent line up change, with Sam Pierce of the Swing Rays, on drums, Chirs Hack on guitar, and Mike Morgan on Bass. The Katatonics evoke vibes of classic surf from the early 60s while being refreshingly modern. Whether you're new to the surf music genre or a faithful fan of all the classics, The Katatonics continue to deliver the tunes. Currently working on a new full length LP set for a 2026 release. definitely stay tuned.
It's just me having fun with my 45's and whatever random record I pull out of the boxes. I will try to give both sides of the 45 unless one side is dull, unbearable or unplayable. I hope you enjoy. (Gyro1966)

…To date the group have released 3 superb singles and an outstanding long-player, all tracked at State Records’ custom-built 8-track analogue recording facility by drummer and State head honcho Mole—...

...right away you can hear how perfect a combination this is, as the engineers at State are totally onboard with the raw, dirty, monophonic sound that The Baron Four require.

In the wake of 1994's El Rancho Reverbo comes the Kings of the Strip EP. It's more instrumental surf rock from Memphis, more tradition-minded maybe than Man or Astro-man? but not without that added curl of punk spirit. Check the accelerated rave-up ending of "Incident on the 10th Floor," for example, or the furious reverb runs of "Hearse." The honking sax of "King Louie Stomp" is a great touch, as it moves Impala out of the somewhat static surf rock holding area and into something resembling R&B. And when the organ drops in on the whitecap, watch out. Other highlights include the film noir atmosphere of "Nothing More Than Murder," and "In Transit"'s cool mix of rumble and twang. Its rocking underbody suggests that Impala might not be lying about the Kings of the Strip boast. - by Johnny Loftus

...The Baron Four are a dynamic new combo, drawing influences from mid 60’s British beat and US garage punk in equal measures, and are possibly the wildest group on the UK scene right now!..
