What’s up fellow Sorry Staters! Let’s hope everyone is having a great week! The weather is finally nice, lots of really great bands are announcing tours for this summer, and life is just good! I hope everyone enjoyed reading my wife Molly’s pick last week. I hope folks got the chance to check out her bookbinding page. I am super proud of what she is doing with her art, and I know she is too! She was super proud of her pick and really enjoyed writing it, so maybe more to come in the future? I am no wordsmith like her, but my pick this week is a fun one from Longshot Music that we got in a week or so ago. I always try to check out bands from the Netherlands, as that is where my mother’s family is from. Hopefully one day soon I’ll be able to travel to the Netherlands and go to some cool record shops and shows in my mother’s home country. Now let’s get into my pick for this week. Hailing from Amsterdam, Savage Beat is a street rock and roll band with a lot of great guitar solos and really catchy riffs. Any fan of Mess or maybe the U.S. Bombs would love this record. They are one of those bands that have been put into so many subgenres it is kinda hard to keep up with. Pub rock? Boogie? Oi? Gang vocals? Yep, this record has it all. My only gripe with the record, and it’s not even that big of a deal, is I wished they sang in Dutch and not English. So check it out if it is your thing. We still have a few left! Just like last week, we have been killing it, getting tons of used CDs and vinyl listed on the site. So give it a look!
