Seven Records for Your Summer Soundtrack By Chuck Foster
Summer means longer nights full of fun, friends and booze, so here are a few music recommendations for the
next time you’re out on the rooftop chugging your latest score from the local corner store.
CHUD - Out of the Sewers EP (CHUD) These local lads hail from the CBGB Sunday matinee school of hardcore with blistering fast songs and a nasty attitude. Think Poison Idea via Antidote and Victim In Pain-era Agnostic Front. Features former members of Murphy’s Law, Savage Sex Boys, Heathen and Thriller, so, yes, it rocks.

Little Lesley & the Bloodshots - Little Lesley & the Bloodshots 7”EP (The Bloodshots)
This rockabilly trio dares to break
from the pompadour cookie cutter
with some excellent original songs.
Bassist Little Lesley croons with
the passion of Patsy Cline and the
fire of Wanda Jackson to Brian
“Swifty” Swift’s dexterous guitar
playing and Bobby Lee’s solid drum-
ming. Yee-haw.

Video Beast - Gooch (Video Beast) Here are some Brooklyn weirdos who nod to the psychedelic ‘90s with their oddball version of punk rock. Moments recall Trip- ping Daisy, Nirvana and the drugged out insanity of San Francisco’s Bomb, while the lyrics tell stories of people struggling within their own skins. Manic fun.

Bunnygrunt - Vol.4 (HHBTM)
Having been around for over twenty years, St. Louis, MO’s Bunnygrunt look to shed the “twee” tag that has followed them throughout their career with a gritty garage punk album borne of sweat and frustra- tion. It’s Ramones-style danceable catchiness so play it loud, sing along and rock out.
