Of the many, many contributions that the late John Peel made to music, one of his most creative and memorable was the Peel Sessions, where literally hundreds of bands were invited to perform and produce recordings that straddled the space between spontaneous live performance and studio recordings. Many bands shone particularly brightly in these sessions, and they've almost always provided defininitive snapshots of an artist at that point in their history. When the Hot Snakes visited the BBC studios to record what unfortunately turned out to be the last under Peel's legendary tutelage, they were able to construct a memorable entry in the series' catalog.

Devil Dogs. Ha ha ha. Well, you are no doubt a "simple" person so "simple" rock fits you perfectly. Hot Snakes are champions and their piping hot boners produce music reminiscent of the best skin flutes of rock. devil dogs and dwarves are for people who have no idea about what rock and roll is about...fuck you. the explosions in the sky peel session is so good hot snakes, why do you rock so hard? for whatever reason, the sultans are the only speedo side band that i can get into, and i buy every single one only to end up hating it. back off cupids, hot snakes, drive like jehu... just can't get into any of them. all there recs are out of control...suicide invoice is special, and they are one of the best live bands i have seen in punk rock! please note: i was checking out buddyhead's mp3 blog, they have a track for download off this...no hands Suicide invoice is their strongest release Now they've replaced John Peel with some shitty show with 3 pretty bad DJ's, its called "One Music" or something. Audit In Progress was a pretty decent album, this might be worth picking up. Vaq- what the fuck? You have the Hellacopters Peel Sessions? I have been searching for that session for 6 months. Peel Sessions always four songs long? I have sessions with Boom Bip, White Stripes, Hellacopters, and Melt-Banana that are all at least 10 tracks long. _Sexy_Pants_: Sure thing; I added the track listing to the review. I haven't heard this yet but I'll probably get it. To the guy above, Hot Snakes are exactly what you say you like, simple, catchy rock. That's why I like them so much. Aubin, with only four tracks, would it hurt that much to tell us what they are? Yeah, the Peel Sessions are always four tracks. I just wish there had been more. oh and by the way, i've said it before and i'll say it again: this ep is hot shit. correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't peel sessions always 4 songs? every other peel session i have is 4 songs long... wow. a good band gets reviewed on this site, amazing. if this band bores you than you must love emo. This band has always bored the living shit out of me. I take my rock simple and catchy. Devil Dogs and Dwarves... i havent heard this, but this band makes some really rockin tunes |
