Roadkill Ghost Choir – In TonguesGreatest Hiss Records-out today 2.5 / 5 We invariably find albums like Roadkill Ghost Choir’s debut the toughest to judge. In Tongues is not particularly weak (it’s got good drive and direction) nor all that strong (not especially compelling, not brilliant), and the Floridian rock quintet certainly have their moments. But we always have to consider this: that we’re getting the album gratis, for review consideration, and you, dear readers, will either head out to buy this album or spend it on something else.

We have something to share with y’all. These guys (and gals), if you haven’t read our review, BLASTED us away. Just incredible energy. We’re going to skirt our responsibilities here and not do up a review. Instead, we’re going to offer y’all the link to download their debut full-length album AT YOUR OWN PRICE. We paid $10 gladly for a physical, and we think $5-7 is fair for a digital copy. But, of course, free is a possibility (and if you like it, pay for a friend’s download). The sound is immense. And keep your ears peeled, as their sophomore full-length is due later thisRead More →
