Seth Bovey – Five Years Ahead of My Time

February 22, 2020 Peter Jönsson 0

I am not the first to congratulate Seth Bovey for writing a book that fills an important gap in the music history. Garage rock is for some reason sadly under-represented compared to other genres when […]

Gene Clark – The Byrd And The Best (Part 1 of 6)

Dogmatics are back for sure!

February 8, 2020 Peter Jönsson 0

What a pleasant surprise it was to reconnect with Dogmatics after so many years through their 2019 7” release She’s The One; a 1m44s pop knockout that Buddy Holly should have been proud of. The […]
