If anyone could equal the MC5 and Stooges at their insane best, it's Nixon Now Among their fans are Michael Davis of the revived MC5, the legendary Thee Hypnotics or Nicke Royale of the Hellacopters. Everybody who has seen the furious four live can figure out why.



From the starz n' stripes bellbottom-clad chick on the front to the song titles to the friggin' group name fer crissake, Nixon Now are the Compleat Package, classic underground white-knuckle hard rockers with guitars set on kill. This is all packed into 15 easy-to-swallow short sharp dollops of distortion and excitement, a mere one of which could provide enough energy for an entire album by most bands, not to mention light up the city of your choice on New Year's eve. .


Hamburg´s hipshakers Nixon Now are one such example of the MC5 legacy and, to tell you the truth, they do the two-minute-and-change supercharged fuzzbomb better than the originals. 

The one thing that can be said for Nixon Now is that the exude that rare rock n´ roll energy that is so friggin´ hard to capture on a studio recording. 

Altamont Nation Express actually sounds like the band going Chernobyl in front of a rabid, sweaty and panty-throwing audience. It´s all stun guitars with Kamikaze divebomb solos, Keith Moon-like percussive abandon and pre-Punk snotty spit n´ fuck you attitude. You´ll most certainly dig Nixon Now if the MC5 appeals to you.

I cannot thank you enough for the Nixon Now dl's. I have been raving to my REAL friends, ie, people who dig the Holy Trinity, MC5, Stooges, Dolls, that you have to hear Nixon Now, god between them and Union Carbide Productions, "what's a poor boy gonna do?"
Thanks a ton, Jeremy
