Two contrasting shakers from the Minneapolis based Soma label... Nebraska outfit Ron Thompson and the Broughams give us 'Switchblade' on the top side - a wild and savage, high-octane stomper, led by a brutal guitar riff, garnished with blood-curdling screams and snarled vocal interjections. A longstanding indemander amongst those who like their instro's rare and bloody like a steak. On the flip, a rather more languid but no less engaging affair as teen outfit the Del Valaros give us a cool riff on 'Tequila'.
