Dirty Ghosts: “19 in ’71” from Metal Moon (Last Gang, 2/21/12)
Grimy guitar grooves create a Clash-esque retro jam on “19 in ’71,” a standout cut from former punk guitarist Allyson Baker’s debut as Dirty Ghosts. And this is retro done right, with modern influences preventing a rehashed homage. One of the most overlooked albums of last year.
Pretty cool list of songs for 2012.
