Barrelling back in to the spotlight with the raw rock n’ roll skulduggery of the first single of their as yet untitled third album, The Vasco Era’s latest offering is a gritty slab of rock n’ roll damnation that does justice to their scintillating live show. Thudding bass and thundering power chord progressions with a tambourine on the cymbals recall the incendiary explosion of the ahem John Spencer Blues Explosion and The Stooges.

Testify brother!
