Bill Keough’s ‘The Slow Get Up’ review in Motif Magazine
Longtime local music scene fixture Bill Keough has finally recorded his solo debut album, The Slow Get Up, and it proves to be worth the wait. I can’t even put my figure on why I enjoy it more than his work with Galvanize (which I enjoy as well,) but it’s like Keough just nailed it here. The general vibe of the record is late ’80s – early ’90s underground rock, which is not to be mistaken as saying ‘grunge’. Tunes “Self Doubt” is closer to Nada Surf than Nirvana. “I Know Where You’ve Been” reminds me of early Silkworm. “Tough Physics” reminds me of early Queens of The Stone Age. Throw in a great cover of PJ Harvey’s “Victory,” and The Slow Get Up makes for a hell of a kick ass record.

a bastard child of PJ Harvey and Bob Mould…a darker, sketchier Frank Black…inside your head vocals and cross-hatched riffs…angst riddled, heartfelt, a bed of nails sprinkled with flowers…life related via blindfolded kisses and aimless hugs…burrow down deep to the center of the songs and stay awhile…

Boston’s The Noise reviews Lloyd’s Llamas ‘Cool the Burn’
“The Barker” is a synth-laden quasi-country instrumental pleasantly reminiscent of both the Meat Puppets and Wendy Carlos, among others, with a friendly vibe. “Worn Out Welcome” is more anodyne; snotty power pop with a good-time psychedelic guitar line. “Whiskey” is a snazzy (and bluesy) shuffle with elements of prog rock. “Midnight Clover” is generic thrash metal; “Dabbler” the best of show, is an epic drum and synth confection with a strangely resonant guitar line and cab-mike distorted vocals. Bueno. (Bonus: There are six more tracks–which sound like backwards renditions of the original six songs.)
