Informationen zum Artikel: Toasting their 20th birthday this year, Californian garage-rock titans Bellrays were brief contenders for the big time around nine years ago, when their best moments were compiled by Alan McGee's short-lived Poptones label. Which probably also explains why fame eluded them. Not that their set-up - speed-dusted, punk-paced hard rock fronted by the belting, Aretha Franklin-worthy '60s soul vocals of Lisa Kekaula - sat comfortably with most of the whitebread '00s crowd. They're still ploughing their singular furrow in 2011 - deviating only for a string-laden quasi-ballad 'Sun Comes Down' - and they're still all the better for not caring a jot for passing fads.
