Like the stiletto, the boot appeal to everyone: 60s/70s pop fads, fake rockers, egomaniac pop stars and cult bands alike.

WORTH OF NOTE

No Hope For The Kids: short lived band from Denmark. Fast, driving and tuneful punk-rock.

The Front: San Diego's almost forgotten heroes. "Man, You Gotta Move", their only album, is a bit uneven but brilliant moments shine through. Somewhere between Mad Parade and Red Rockers.

Gore Gore Girls: such a brilliant name! Grand guignol go go girls. Detroit garage-punk queens.

Willie Alexander: Boston's rock & roll legend.

VS: featuring the late Olga De Volga (vox/bass) of The Lewd fame. 

The Cool Jerks: brilliant short lived band with Jack Oblivian backed by members from The Neckbones. Memphis R&R tradition at its finest.
