Mad Macka * The Somethin Ain’t Rights
* Welfare Mothers* MuhammedAli

Mad Macka - (Australia) John "Mad Macka" McKeering of Australia's The Onyas and Cosmic Psychos.

The Somethin' Ain't Rights - Sorry no links or info on-line

Welfare Mothers - (Houston TX) " When this record started and the singer came, in I thought they were from England, but apparently they're from Texas. This sounds good, like a beefed-up, sped-up WRECKLESS ERIC or something. It rocks in all the right directions and the two songs are short and sweet—no unnecessary wanking. I know a lot of folks are going to cream themselves over this."Maximum Rock & Roll Two cool grooves here: "Long Brown Hair" captures that 70s power pop sound back when it still rocked a bit and was devoid of sacless Beatle-booted future lawyers and garbage like The Knack. It's that semi-solid ground between Twinkeyz glam-punk and punkish rock like the Only Ones, though those names are bit to heavy to drop on these, uhhh, moms. "Bloodsucker" is a deceptive bastard. Posing as some meat & potatoes Cap't 9's puggishness, the guitars freak in that Modern Lovers' "I am a little too tightass to totally wig out but I'll give it my all" kinda freak, which, in this case, is fine & d. as it sounds like a real freak, not some peg in the hole pose. Cherry debut with punch production by Tim Kerr. —SS" ZGun
