Living Proof Getting in the Groove / Oh No 7″

’60s-influenced garage punkedelia from Canada. “Getting in the Groove” has that ’68 sound, with its raw, distorted guitars and arching vocals; “Oh No” is slower, “heavier,” and more rock ’n’ rolly, but features a terrific psychedelic lead break. A hip debut with a handmade cover.

Living Proof This Trip is For Real LP

Missed reviewing this a few months back. This trio is pretty versatile, varying from tight, fast thrash to rock ballads to metal-tinged punk to melodic fusions. Well produced, but the heavy rock influences take their toll.
