Bumping this epic thread in the hope that there have been some new adventures in this field in the last couple of years.
If you've never read this thread before i urge you to do so, there are some amazingly entertaining tales to be found.

Although it's been a while since i heard it, i seem to remember that Badger album, 'Fierce Rock 'n' Roll' was a pretty good listen.
Nothing astonishingly original, but well written & really well played stuff.

Thanks for the inspiration Shimrod, i'm digging out Legend right now.

Anyone got a rip of the S/T 1980 EP by Texan band Xcitor that they could share?

https://1fichier.com/?2e6r5so4jx Much appreciated. As always Ernest, you're very welcome. DoomedPlanet, thanks again for the tip regarding Tomorrow's Gift. Some very unusual arrangements on there, and musically it's really good stuff, but those vocals do put me off somewhat. The singer might grow o...

I'd say ''Multiples of black" level... It sounds groovy, modern, commercial, nothing to do with the band that released ''Fist held high'' Yes, it sounds like uninspired grungy hard-rock. That's too bad. I wasn't expecting 'Fist Held High II', but it sounds like it misses the mark completely. I...

Bigfootkit, have you heard Tomorrow's Gift 1970 Hamburg. A bit off topic for this thread but I think if you don't know this album you shall love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1BSzxm1LvE I only discovered it last week. Many thanks for the tip DoomedPlanet, i'll check that out. I do recognize ...

As promised, here are all 3 Grupa SOS 45s and a little biographical info on the band, along with the lone release by Nirvana, on whom i could find very little background save for their line up. The 1st Grupa SOS 45 isn't quite there yet, but there's some nice upfront cowbell and a very Ace Frehley-e...

@bigfootkit: Well spotted with that Wild Turkey tune. I'd say this is a case of pure 'riff-off', since the song structure is very different and there's no other credits than the band members on the label. I think you're being more than a little kind to Tetrapak in this instance, it sounds to me lik...

I was very deceived by the unreleased album too

I've yet to hear the unreleased album, how bad is it?

I remember that, but it wasn't a patch on this Doc Holliday/Myofist/38 Special Flexi that Cerrang! also gave away around the same time. http://cdn.discogs.com/sMu2nhsVzDepxsGVHZa9Pp7VXWI=/fit-in/600x597/filters:strip_icc():format(j...
