Boy-girl harmonies, deep fuzz stoner baselines, and cosmic anthems—Turtle Skull nails everything Black Mountain used to do before BM got that divorced dad sound. Josh Steichmann
These ratbastards kept it simple and friendly, playing blues and boogie for folks who just wanted to down their likker and smoke their bongs to the sound of some good-time rock’n’roll. Unlike, say, Sweet, the guys in Gods and Punks needn’t look back at old photos of themselves in glittering silver crotch-high platform boots and say, “What was I thinking? I look like a total git! Old Man Doom
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
Coming straight out of the gates, this outing reminded me of Demonic Death Judge but ‘Welcome to the Ceremony’ adds Floydian guitar and Sabbath like percussion to the mix. To keep things entertaining and fresh, the styles and influences continue to change throughout the album. There’s even glimpses of Punk Rock and I also hear inspiration from Judas Priest. Again, an excellent album with a fusion of influences. Harry Harrison
