“Live” is the long awaited new CD from Rhode Island’s legendary punk band “Two Guys and Another Guy”. This exiting 16 track release showcases 9 of their classic songs with a remarkably high quality recording produced by Stumpy (Neutral Nation) and Rockin’ Rob George. Melodic riffs from guitar legend Jon Jones demonstrate his miraculous and long awaited return to form. With these songs, the band continues to build on their historic sound – they have been compared to the Replacements and Husker Du. The band’s “Dual Les Paul” attack has been described as “aggressive but not assaulting”. Two Guys and Another Guy continue to stand amongst their peers – Neutral Nation, Rash of Stabbings, That’ll Learn Ya, the Schemers, and the Jungle Dogs as one of Rhody’s all time favorite bands. With this new CD, “TGAAG” is back on the scene.

This release collects fifteen tracks recorded from 1991-1993. Backwash formed from the ashes of Collision Service and Two Guys And Another Guy in 1988. The band recorded a 7″ record in 1991 as well as their only album, the 6-song Approaching Joe’s Mangos, which was released in 1993. The band broke up in 1994 when bassist George Sullivan left the band. The other three members – Jack McKenna, Jon Jones, and Pete Burr – added a new bass player soon after and formed Mother Jefferson. The members continue to be active in various Providence-based musical projects.

Pure power pop for aging effete moderns, rock oracle von Doom erupts onto the 21st century’s late first decade rock scene with sonic aplomb. Their debut disc, aptly titled The Universe is a mix of aesthetics, Latin roots, the state of the art, and psychedelic effrontery. Navigating the treacherous void surrounding us all, von Doom’s requiem for humanity floats above the fray, all the while forging a path straight through your ear-fields.
