Geils Band as well as the Bad Brains I Against I album.  Lots of rock 'n roll history there. This album was given to me in a stack of promos by Katherine DePaul when I was doing some booking work for the Wildflower label.  This particu

Rex , Suicide ) and 80's ( The Scientists , Spacemen 3 ).  The second is this release creates a tie to Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3
