Eric was well known in NYC as a local roots rock gu

When I was listening today, I didn't remember why I thought the Motards were a cut above for noisy garage.  It definitely falls in the realm of New Bomb Turks or other bands that Gearhead zine would write about.  18 tracks

The release reasonably covered Deep Purple's "Highway Star" and the B-side "Obsolete" was a reasonable original.  Neither can be found streami
