I am a big fan of both Fear and The Animals, and brother let me make it clear up front that no one can touch The Animals’ original version of “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place.” With that being said, Fear’s cover is equally fascinating, even if inferior. For those that haven’t heard Fear’s legendary 1982 LP The Record, do it! Fear’s cover is so unique that I didn’t even realize it was The Animals until years later! Silly bastard. The band creates their own, off kilter take on a classic song and truly tears apart everything a more conventional music fan would love about it. It’s not the most enjoyable listen, but I adore it’s odd as a cod quality. I’d like to see more bands like Fear today!
Random Ass Covers Part 1: Harlem- “Goodbye Horses”
Ya that’s right, KLYAM beloved pop magic makers Harlem at one point covered Q Lazzarus’s “Goodbye Horses.” No matter what Silence of the Lambs has forever made this naturally peculiar song infinitely fucked up! Harlem’s rendition keeps this eerie spirit alive. Fun to dance to…
P.S. We miss you Harlem :(
What’s In Bradford’s Bag?
Ahh Bradford’s always teaching me new things. Great selection!
“This is my favorite Everly Brothers album, A Date With The Everly Brothers, which I think none of us would mind having.”

Band of the Week: Gravys Drop!!!!
WOOOOOO! Band of the Month, errr Band of the Week a title only reserved for the greatest Rock ‘n’ Rollers, the truest gangstas to quote one, Frank Hurricane, and this week we have Gravys Drop!!! Gravys Drop is fronted by Billy Grave, a cool, cool dude. In fact, while we’re here we might as well do some reminiscing. Let’s take a quick trip back to October 2, 2009, a day that will live in KLYAM infamy. Nobunny nearly burned down Harpers Ferry haha! JK!! More importantly, Billy G himself played drums in Nobunny during this tour and KLYAM chatted with the dude for a little while before the show- at the time we were pretty new to well everything. We knew and loved Tard, but had never heard of Nobunny or Hunx or most of the bands we enjoy and endorse now. It’s funny, I remember distinctly it was Billy that introduced us to Thee Oh Sees. I doubt he remembers this, but for what’s it worth, thanks, great show, good times! Now back to present. Gravys Drop. Killer band with killer songs. Nice, old school rock ‘n’ roll just the way we know you like it. There’s some country, bubblegum, and certainly gah ridge rock. It’s fun! Listen to For The Love of Gravy, it dropped on Burger Records earlier this year. Check it out!

P.S. Gravys Drop, if you’re ever heading on tour, hit up Boston we’d love to have ya!
