Plague Vendor - Rougher Than Rough E.P.

Limited Edition Blood Moon Vinyl - Southern California punk rock quartet Plague Vendor are back and better than ever with their latest release, “Rougher Than Rough”. Over the course of 6 memorable numbers the group asserts themselves; experimenting and evolving all the while digging deep into their roots. On the opening track vocalist Brandon Blaine sings "If you don't got a groove I've got a lesson" channeling the likes of Little Richard, Mick Jagger, and James Brown. From then on songs that push, pulse, sway and groove; are all delivered with a distinct swagger that pulls from the greats of rock ‘n’ roll. Each track makes a unique statement that is glued together with the groups grit and chemistry. "Rumble" hits heavy with Luke Perine's kit pummeling the band forward. "Window" features fantastic sonic textures and tasteful guitar tones from Jay Rogers. Michael Perez leads "Run" with an absolutely relentless bass groove complimented by cutting electronic drum production. "Keep It Up" and "Tough Fucker" close the release up with an attitude and conviction that sounds like a band going for it and earnestly making the noise they want to make. This is a record not to be fucked with.
