Band: GUIDED BY VOICES (Dayton Ohio)

veteran rockers, 33 albums in 38 years!

Album: EARTH MAN BLUES

Info: “A magical cinematic rock album, full of dramatic and
surreal twists and turns. Lyrics and liner notes trace the growth
of young Harold Admore Harold through a coming of age and
a reckoning with darkness. Vivid scenes appear: snapshots of
youth, fantastical nightmares, unknown worlds.”

Maestro Robert Pollard told Rolling Stone: “ It’s a collage
of rejected songs. I combined some of them and created new
arrangements. Others I just left the way they were.”

Singles: Free Agents / Trust Them Now

– FREE AGENTS –
Speedy 2-minute, riff-fueled stunner that
razzles and dazzles as if nothing else matters.


.
– TRUST THEM NOW –
Full-steam-ahead rocker that sticks
after 3 seconds. Hail hail GBV!

Imperishable 24/7 Rockers GUIDED BY VOICES Never Sleep – Here’s New Stunner ‘FREE AGENTS’

Daily electricity to load your batteries…

23 February 2021

Along with Aussie prog-rock junks King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard Ohio’s longtime clan – hitting the scene back in 1983 – GUIDED BY VOICES is the hardest working band on this troubled planet. They released no less than three albums last year – wake up, Radiohead. Trust me, each one a compelling piece of work. AllMusic rewarded all 3 records with a
4/5 score. There you go.

And – no surprise, actually – GBV just announced a new longplayer called Earth Man Blues, coming on 30 April, marked as a “a collage of rejected songs”. Maestro Robert Pollard told Rolling Stone: “I combined some of them and created new arrangements.
Others I just left the way they were.”

The first taster is FREE AGENTS. A speedy 2-minute, riff-fueled stunner that razzles
and dazzles as if nothing else matters. And yes, for 120 blitzkrieg seconds, nothing
else matters but the energy and vivacity of this bang-up injection. Absolutely!

Turn it up…

Note: “John H. Morrison Musical Production,” refers to Pollard’s childhood school
