Brash San Diego punks the Night Marchers are gearing up for the January 22nd release of their second record, Allez Allez, on Swami Records. Now you can take a listen to the infectious, riff-laced thrasher "Loud, Dumb and Mean," which frontman John Reis tells Rolling Stone is an ode to bands like Nervous Norvus, Lee Hazlewood and "hundreds of other musics that make me smile and boner and break Ikea furniture and pile the splintered, laminated, wood-like shards in the middle of my condo and burn it. To me, the kitsch and the camp and the novelties are often far more artful than that which is peddled as sincere reflections of the human condition."

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
