Lucca Carver and Alex Baum stepped in to record their sophomore LP. The band began as a songwriting outlet for frontman/guitarist Al O Vera (Shaved Christ, Shade), soon joined by guitarist Thomas Kim. They balance groovy misanthropic dissonance and taut downstroke riffage, all drenched in a bath of psychedelic reverb. The quartet's sophomore release, II, finds them shedding the garage-punk roots with the addition of a new rhythm section to create a sound that is equal parts sinister and catchy. McQQEEN is a noisy punk band from Athens, GA. McQQEEN's II is a kaleidoscopic panorama of psychedelic noise punk released on Big Neck Records.

See you all on the other side when we have the party! In the meantime, perhaps these tunes will help you boogie a little at home.ġ. If you don’t normally listen to this kind of thing, I urge you to give it a try. That’s why I haven’t played Reggae for this show, I almost don’t want to spoil ‘the good vibes’, and there’s something natural for me, playing some old tunes. They’re comforting, like food you’ve always loved. Even a Cab Calloway weed smokers anthem, yes they had jazz fags in the 30s and 40s, you weren’t the first, your Great Grandparents weren’t even the first! I’ve tried to mix a flavour of what I like, moody Mambo, Rhythm and Blues in it’s original sense, funky old stuff. They remind me of home, even though I don’t know what or where home is anymore. I haven’t wanted to listen to much music since this all started, and today, when I finally switched on the Hi-Fi all I wanted to do was play some Crackly Old 78s. So in these odd days, when we are being strongly reminded of our mortality, there is something, at least for me, comforting in listening to my old 78 records.
