Guitar Gangsters-Prohibition

This band just gets no respect. I don't know why either. Great tunefull, melodic punk rock. Played extremely well with everything that you'd expect from any of your heroes. These guys have been going at it since the late 70's in different bands together. The Guitar Gangsters started around '87 or so and have been at it since. This is their first release and I think Mick from The Business played drums on some or all of the tracks. Good ole Micky, spent an evening with him at a Cocksparrer show in San Francisco. Nicest guy one would meet. Anyways, this album is about as perfect as perfection can be.

  1. Nice one kenny. Such a great band that should be way bigger than they are. Hopefully this post will bring them some well deserved attention.

  2. This is one of those bands whose records I've seen for years, but never picked one up. Not sure why. Guess I'll finally give 'em a listen. Thanks!

  4. Yeah the kind of criminally underrated, band... just like the Guttersnipes (the UK band). You probably know them too but just in case:
