One Fifteen [CD]

Oakland, California's Lecherous Gaze play, in their own words, ''Psycho-delic shred-tastic ultra-hyphened rock-punk heavy jams.'' ZZ Top's Billy†Gibbons more concisely calls the band's sound ''heavy.'' ''One Fifteen'' is The Gaze's third full-length LP and showcases the hyper-talented†musicians at the peak of their power. Searing guitarist Graham Clise (Annihilation Time, Witch) sets fires with absolutely ferocious licks while†vocalist Zaryan Zaidi and the band spit old-school, no-bulls***, in-your-face, maximum-impact rock straight into your kisser. Mean and greasy riff-forward proto-punk is the name of the game! Produced by Greg Wilkinson (Eerie, High On Fire) at Earhammer Studios and mastered by Carl Saff†(Earthless, The Shrine), ''One Fifteen'' is a nod to the days when being a punk meant wearing your acid washed jeans (or wearing no jeans at all),†refusing to comb your hair, and partying with your friends. If you thought real-deal hard rock had no future, Lecherous Gaze have returned to slap†some sense into you!
