Finally, an excuse to dust off the platform boots and denim overalls! New York City's LOOSEY is here with their Winter Promo '23 cassette. LOOSEY's sound falls somewhere between the Australian Sharpie scene where pub-rock bands like COLOURED BALLS and ROSE TATTOO reigned supreme, and the Bovver scene from England which preferred the glammier side of rock'n'roll (checkout the comp Bootboy Discotheque to get down). After the right-on intro 'Enter Planet Dust,' LOOSEY treats listeners to three earworms that stomp, shimmy, and howl (thanks to the gloriously gruff vocals of lead singer Fizzy of NEW YORK HOUNDS fame). Check out 'There You Were (Alligator Song)' to hear LOOSEY at full-force; beginning with a glam stomp before bulldozing their way into Exile on Main Street-era ROLLING STONES and even BIG STAR territory, it's pure bar-room boogie for lovers and fighters alike. This is the dawning of LOOSEY music, get into it! Eric Anderson
