If you follow the RCU Instagram account, you would’ve seen me gush about these three releases/artists, but they all definitely deserve some mentions here. First up, we have The Frecks, a raw, no-fucks given punk group out of Tucson. This is one of the rare times where IG recommended a video for me that was actuallyContinue reading “The Frecks, Old Smile & The Return of The Duke of Surl: August Round Up”

Being a vintage psychedelic rock fan living in New Jersey, I was naturally curious to see what psych groups existed in the state during the 60s/70s. This lead me to the rare, psych-blooze-country sounds of The Flying Dogs of Jupiter (from Westfield, NJ). I’m now very excited to see what else I can find onContinue reading “The Flying Dogs of Jupiter (New Jersey Psychedelic Blues Rock)”
