It is very nice to stumble upon a real gem by the end of the year. This is exactly what the debut LP by Sonic Hawkins (a solo project of Darrell Hawkins, ex-Wild Palms guitarist) is.
Titled Muscle Beach, it is a brilliant collection of 10 ultra-hooky tracks, framed with distortion, dance punk sensibilities and unstoppable energy. This album will get you in the groove with its guitar riffs alongside cracking basslines and infectious spirit.
