MFC Chicken – ‘Fast Food & Broken Hearts’ (Dirty Water Records/FOLC Records)

John B reckons that this is exactly the kind of crazy fun we need at the moment. Old school rock ‘n roll you can’t help but want to dance to. With all the craziness going on in the world right now it is nice to have an album that is just good clean fun. The lyrics are hilarious; whether they are singing about eating chicken out of the garbage or the cops showing up at KFC, pretty much every song will make you smile.

Back in 2017 Florida-based occult fuzz rockers Smoke Mountain introduced stoner and doom fans worldwide to their doomy, fuzz-drenched sound with the release of their highly acclaimed self-titled EP.

It’s a mission statement they’ve certainly succeeded in.

It’s always great when you get to see a band develop over the years from the most humble of beginnings and on their rise to greater things and today Jonny B is excited to be able to review the latest release from a band pretty close to his heart – Dakesis.
