WAYNE KRAMER - The Hard Stuff LP minimal pain and anger - a

pain and anger - a plasticised 'Stone Tape' formed in reverberant rubble

Oakland’s RAYS and Auckland’s THE COOLIES

Prong and others not as intentional homage

This is not a nostalgic cry for the good old days

Jody and Luther are emboldened by playing together for the past five years

WAYNE KRAMER - The Hard Stuff LP minimal pain and anger - a2014 red vinyl reissue. Well written, thoughtful, insightful lyrics from the former MC5 member. In fact, the simplistic, driving, hard edge nature of the music allows the lyrics to shine through even stronger. And this does not mean the music isn't very good, it is, and the guitar work is top notch and in many places blisteringly hot.
