Release Notes:
Not since The Stooges' "Raw Power", AC/DC's "Dirty
Deeds", or The Supersuckers' "The Smoke Of Hell"
has rock'n'roll sounded so thunderously primitive,
electrically frenetic, and vibrantly untamed. Damn,
The Vagiants have done set my ears aflame!

While the writer here is referring to their first
album, Hotbox, believe me that this latest offering
from the VaGiants will burn the rest of his head to
a crisp. These nine new tracks from this now
defunct Winnipeg quartet were written and recorded
shortly after their second jaunt Stateside. The
songs betray the bands cleaner production on this
record. Born out of backlane dumpsters and
marinated in garbage juice & bourbon, the VaGiants
deliver a symphony of super soul rock-n-roll that
will not soon be put down. Hip shakin ravers like
"Detroit" and the title track give way to all out
crushing punk anthems like"e.b.t.", a supreme rant
that challenges the listener to "walk a mile in my
moccassins, honey". With the sudden demise of the
VaGiants there will only be a piece of vinyl
available to remember them by. Mastered in NYC by
Don Grossinger (MC5, Sonic Youth, Bad Brains), this
12" LP includes a georgeous full colour photo
collage of over 200 photos designed by the bands
(former) bass player Brendon Ehinger (designed for
D-Rangers, the New Meanies, Rudimental). The first
single, "Turn It Around" will have an accompanying
video ready for late October release.
