NEW T-SHIRTS !!
black, red or white
small, medium or medium (girlfit)
The Feeling of Love may very well be one of the most under-rated acts out there these days, but it seems they're starting to get their due...a two-piece on this platter (with G adding Seb Normal's presence on most of the cuts), FOL bring back best of Nineties-garage-blues (Oblivians, JSBX, and Doo Rag at their finest) without the stench of revisionism, updating those styles with a Pussy Galore-like slop of noise and a healthy dose of acerbic wit. Guitars alternately slide and slash, keyboards get punched and stepped on amid the fray, Frenchmen sneer and whoop at you, drums boom and then turn coffe-can hollow...they run blues-trash through the gauntlet and come out the other side reborn as some snarling beast. One of these tunes sounds like the Bassholes if they were on AmRep. Others sound like Spencer, if he were REALLY a bad ass and not just pretending. The best song titles ever and gratuitous use of the word pussy just ratchet the entertainment value up a few clicks. "The Way to Suck"? Beautiful, like a cranked-up Bob Log fronting Unsane! "Rapeman Blues" throws another pigfuck namedrop out there (remember that Julie Cafritz song?). There's so much I love about this band right now. Invigorating music. Cheveu may be everyone's current French darlings, but Feeling of Love hold the keys to my heart. Buy all of their records now if you haven't already.

"Du
bon wok'n'woll bien saignant avec les messins du Feeling of Love... et
on le sait depuis Davy Jones Locker, la musique messine ne donne pas en
général dans la kermesse pour bizounours.... En l'occurence, ceux là
chassent sans vergogne sur les terres de Pussy Galore ou Doo Rag...
Quand au canadiens de Hell Shovel, ils braconnent dans le style
hillbilly bluegrass déglingué de cul terreux qui aurait abusé du
moonshine après avoir braqué un camion d'alccol de contrebande... Une
bonne vieille soirée de musique du diable en perspective, donc...."
