Mastering Slugz S/T LP on Feel It Records.
“Raw, trashy garage that eases right up to the border of being hardcore. Has the crunch of early rocknroll rooted punk like The Damned mixed with the reckless aggression of Teengenerate or The Retainers.”

“Recorded in 2 hours in reading on a sunday afternoon last summer, personnel’s debut ep chronicles the drab minutiae of modern britain both at home and in public – of shared habitats simultaneously filling and emptying with unwanted gadgets, of dreary shopping centres populated by peoploids jacked up on red-top hysteria. set to stark, distortion-less grooves, the music is brittle but not joyless, simple but not stupid.”
“Two Drummer Post-Punk band from Denton TX. Members of The Distressers, On After Dark, Von Ehrics and Whips and Furs. Debut EP recorded by Mark Ryan and Jeff Burke at Cool Devices Studios.”
“The Metric Eyes are an international punk / garage-star band consisting of Daniel from the Toyotas (Voc. / Git), Chris from the Briefs (drums), Laura from the Boonaraaas (bass), and from Madrid Kika (synthesiser). The snappy band style is reminiscent of the Toyotas, but also post-punk and synth punk elements can be found in the songs of the Metric Eyes.”
“An epic, sprawling masterpiece, this is by far their best record yet, which is really saying something at this point.”
As you may know, Red Dons have done many tours together with the Estranged and I personally am a huge fan. Check out the new album and seize the opportunity to see them live.

“It has been said many times and in many ways the what the world needs now is another rock and roll band. This could very well be the one of which the pundits spoke.
The crisp and exacting music of THE ENERGY has been a long time coming, although the group itself was formed only shortly before the inspired recording of their first album. THE ENERGY consists of four parts: composers Triplett and Bates performing on electric guitar and vocals respectively; Josh Wolf, percussionist, bronze god, pulse of the rhythm section; and bass guitarist Chris “Chris Ryan” Ryan. For the past ten years or so each of these fellows has been pursuing his own private destiny within the confines of the “punk rock jungle.” Their varied apprenticeships include stints with infamous groups from past decades and more recent sorties such as the short-lived but illustrious “Ultimate Spinach.” As is so rarely the case, the whole of THE ENERGY is greater than the sum of its parts, and the newly formed amalgam threatens to undermine the foundations of the rock power elite.
Thus treads heavily the titanic THE ENERGY, casting a long shadow upon the contemporary rock wasteland, aspiring to spill its seed on barren ground, and at the same time, struggling to make sense out of the flotsam and jetsam of its eclectic musical heritage. With a solid first album under its belt, and with an ever-expanding reputation as a dynamic performing group, it would appear that THE ENERGY’s place on the American musical scene is assured.
THE ENERGY. It’s Growing.”
