Howdy y’all! Did we mention yet that life and work has been hectic again? I think we did, but there is light at the end of the tunnel and soon we can do more HiVe stuff! But luckily Good Boy and very cool Kyle delivered some words for the damn fine Oopsy Dazey release just yesterday. And of course we did a Quick Fire Friday segment and managed to write about the best grind and crust album we heard in years, delivered by Dutch five-piece Radeloos///Ziedend. Still on heavy rotation! And so are Volumen I by Spanish Doble Sesión Nocturna and the new Band In The Pit. For Goda is one kick ass relentless trip! Go check’m all out! All of ‘m!

Bud Spencer Blues Explosion – BSB3

Bud Spencer Blues Explosion – BSB3

42Records – 2014

Rock, Blues, Garage, Punk, Stoner, Grunge

Rated: *****

We had already heard about these two Italian freaks around 2010. But it were the guys from Polarbeers that really turned us on to them. And ever since their previous album Do It from 2011 they have been in heavy rotation and we have anxiously been awaiting new stuff. That day has finally come for the Bud Spencer Blues Explosion has now released their fourth album called: BSB3! And what a ride it is! The two of them run through a musical field filled with experimentation in the traditional way and which covers all kind of different streams. They wade through rock and blues and dip their toes in stoner and grunge and do all of that with a punky attitude and garage feeling. And even though much of it is seeped with tradition and done with honor; there is also this modern quality. Sounds that sound so universal and catchy it has you hooked before you can say: Miracoli! It starts with the stomping Duel, the addictive Mama, the crazy Hey Man and continues to the heavy Rubik. And it never stops. Even when the slow and natural Troppo  Tardi ends; cause that’s where you put the needle back and let the record spin once again… Bella Zio! Questo è un album sorprendente e sicuramente non a tardive!

Bud Spencer Blues Explosion – Do It

Bud Spencer Blues Explosion – Do It
Self released – 2011
Rock, Blues, Garage, Stoner
Rated: *****

The third installment of the Italian magic duo Bud Spencer Blues Explosion is like a golden stick of dynamite. This blast will ring on forever and ever into legend. The title Do It is the shortened version of the song Dio Odia I Tristi; which means that God Hates Sadness. And one can definitely not be sad when listening to this heavy rocking beauty of an album. This one incorporates the desert virtuosity of Homme; the search for bluesroots of White and merges it with that seventies sound they do so well, the garage that started it all and their exceptionally bright and cheerful breezy songs for the longest days of the year. This album is the perfect example of what a duo may accomplish if they are like one. And they are a miraculous one at that; two that know what the exact amount of nostalgia is, which is needed to get the emotional juices flowing without becoming retro or old. A platinum kaboom with a rain shower of precious gems!

Bud Spencer Blues Explosion – BSBE

Bud Spencer Blues Explosion – BSBE
Yorpikus – 2009
Rock, Blues, Garage, Stoner
Rated: ****

The sophomore self-titled album of the Italian duo Bud Spencer Blues Explosion is a righteous continuation of their first album. Signed to the Yorpikus label the two got to work in taking their sound from the debut to their logical extremes. It’s is hard rocking seventies Zeppelin and Hendrix; old down and dirty delta blues and an incredible Chemical Brothers cover of Hey Boy, Hey Girl. But ofcourse we also get those little springtime easygoing and juicy ditties; the ones that will make your head bop while drinking a beer on some city terrazzo or lying in the grass somewhere surrounded by half naked women playing Frisbee. Errr.. And all done in an extremely matter of fact natural way that drugs you and leaves you helpless to their virtuosity. It moves you and makes your limbs twist in ways you never thought possible. Explosive stuff!

Bud Spencer Blues Explosion – Happy

Bud Spencer Blues Explosion – Happy
Self released – 2008
Rock, Blues, Garage
Rated: ****

Founded in the capital of Italy in 2007, the Bud Spencer Blues Explosion is a duo that knows where to seek out the best blues mustard and incorporate that into their own garage soul. Ofcourse there is something reminiscent of the White Stripes here; for they two were a duo celebrating the roots of all music. But Bud is less sophisticated, much more raw and visceral and above all has an incredibly funky punk spirit. It has that open vibe similar to everything Cato Salsa does and vibrates like some long lost seventies diamond. It’s a buckshot full of adrenaline and highly energetic. And then there are those little flirts with electronics and samples; weird and extremely sunny. Like a laid-back late spring afternoon filled with wine-coolers and lazy lovemaking… One can only imagine what their live shows must be like…
