All of the action of late seems to happening due North of where we are
in Albuquerque.  Clearly when a State legalizes the use of recreational
marijuana fin and exciting things happen. RACE TO NEPTUNE is not the
first band from the Centennial State that we've profiled since the new
year began which gives us reason to believe that there is something
other than pot smoking going on just North of us. Of course our fondness
for the band is due to the release of their gritty debut opus  OH
CONTRAIRE and coming from folk who favor big riffs, interesting chord
changes and  rhythms that change at a moments notice, we can safely say
this is one of our favorite releases in this turbulent new year. It's
hard to believe that this is only a debut and that speaks volumes of
the musicality of this band. Whether they are re-living the alternative
rock guitar glory days of bands like SMASHING PUMPKINS (IRON SATIRE),
riding the killer wave of a surf rock riff (CONSTANT COLLAPSE) or
kicking out the sort of souped up reggae-fied jams that made THE POLICE
famous (CIGARS AND CELEBRATIONS), this band has it all covered.
