THE LONDON SOULS

If spiffy 1970s-style hard rock crunch was the big bang, The London Souls would be the onrushing aftershock. With fatback guitars and thundering-yet-crisp drums, the Brooklyn power-duo swings and swaggers from an alternate universe where Thin Lizzy and Cheap Trick still rule the airwaves. Tash Neal’s dirty, roughed-up fretwork boasts just enough grime to set the Souls’ Merseybeat harmonies and bluesy, straight-ahead melodies in sharp relief. (Michael Walsh)
