The Earth Is Shaking [Vinyl]

The Hydromatics - The Earth Is Shaking [Vinyl]

For the first time on vinyl, Bang! Records brings you The Earth Is Shaking, the third album by The Hydromatics -- a transatlantic high-energy rock and roll unit powered by Detroit legend Scott Morgan (The Rationals/Sonic's Rendezvous Band) and Amsterdam cult-hero Tony "Slug" Leeuwenburgh (Loveslug). Originally released in 2007, this record captures the band leaner, rougher and fully locked-in: big riffs, street-level groove, zero filler, and that unmistakable Detroit soul-grit that Morgan owns like nobody else. And here's the headline for rock and roll die-hards: Kent Steedman (The Celibate Rifles) is on guitar -- bringing bite, melody and attitude, plus extra sonic spice (yes: theremin) and production muscle. The result is The Hydromatics at maximum voltage, moving confidently into their own songs while still carrying the Motor City flame. Highlights include the swaggering "Streets Of Amsterdam," the barroom punch of "Standin' At The Juke," and the epic ride of "Detroit Leaning." A1. Standin At The Juke A2. Baby Jane A3.
