To be honest I thought the year started off kind of lame.

But hell was I wrong !!! A few days ago I got a package in my

mailbox and man....been french kissing my mail man ever since!!!

All out of tha blue I found Tha new demo by the LOW POINT DRAINS

on my doorstep. Mr postman... you made me see the light,

again, when I was wandering out there in the dark.

Man, I was impressed with their previous one. But this one even steps

up the gas a little further. Hopefully these guys wear crash helmets

while rehearsing. Cause they come flying through the corner in a way

even Will Hartog would wet his pants!!! Who cares about the splitting up

of the Oblivians when it only takes two guys from Holland to write

songs like "Drunken Man"? What to expect from this record in a nutshell?

We'll take your personal favourites like Jon Spencer, Oblivians,

Bantam Rooster, the Revelators and even a bit of the Dirtys and

step it up a gear! These guys sound like their favourite records

without being fucking copy cats !!! And in my opinion that's

what making music is all about. Play the music you like, your own way.

And that's exactly what these guys are doing. And if you don't

get the message yet: listen to their song:

"I don't wanna be on Stardump" maybe then you'll hear the difference

between wanna be tha Ramones and wanna sound like tha Ramones.

It's only the first month of the year and it could be so that

the best record of the year is already made.

LOW POINT DRAINS that's tha word for now. Buy the goddamn record !!
