Back catalogue: Psych/Garage Rock

Review: The 60s Liverpudlian rock quartet are famed for their song '6 Day War', which has been sampled from the likes of DJ Shadow in Tokyo Drift and Pusha T on his album released earlier this year. This track is undoubtedly a classic, written in the aftermath of the ongoing Arab-Israeli war of 1967, '6 Day War' is one of the best anti-war tracks of all time. The slow jam-rock ballad comes from the band's album 'Oh What a Lovely War!' released in 1973 which has not been released in Britain until now, making this a landmark pressing. The record is a psychedelic soft-progressive rock LP with emphasis on heavy guitars like in 'Lay it Down' and even pulls from folk rock in 'Dirty Delilha Blues'. Colonel Bagshot were almost criminally overlooked, though their music seems to consistently stand the test of time and it's easy to hear why. The sound is quintessential Liverpool rock, even down to the naming conventions being evocative of The Beatles.

Review: Anton Newcombe's prolific Brian Jonestown Massacre notch up their 19th studio album with Fire Doesn't Grow On Trees. It's headed up by lead single 'The Real', which shows the psych-rock lifer hasn't lost any of his inspiration this far into his career. He worked in the studio with Ricky Maymi, Ryan Calrson Van Kriedt, Hakon Adalsteinsson, Hallberg Daoi Hallbergsson, Uri Rennert and Sara Neidorf in a whirlwind 70 days of tracking new music, and this album, whittled down to 10 incendiary tracks, is the result. It's everything you want from a BJM record - a perfect addition to their monumental oeuvre.
