A surly, uncontrived blend of the Ramones, Stiff Little Fingers, the Beatles, Johnny Cash and the Clash. I hear National Razor as a thinking man’s punk band.. more... |

Put your preconceptions to the side, Yucca Flats is like no acoustic
rock band you’ve heard. The Counting Crows or Dave Matthews
are a reference point, but neither capture the Flat’s quirky

I keep hearing the same thing about this CD: “I didn’t
know what to think the first time I played the C-Nuts. Now it’s

Joe Jackson, Peter Gabriel, all that.

Here’s our first rock CD. If you like “Desperado”
or “Hotel California”-era Eagles, I think you’ll

sings, plays guitar and harmonica, writes remarkable songs. Kahlil
is a stunningly sensitive percussionist: his congas, shakers, cymbals
and bells wrap a myriad of colors and ethnicity around Mark’s
songs. more... |

These guys take a gritty approach to that magic moment when the
blues turned into rock ’n‘ roll. Whop Frazier sings Motown-steeped,
bluesy vocals on classics from Wilson Pickett, Buddy Guy, Jimmy
Reed. more... |
