A few quotes from reviews of this E.P.
-----------------------------------------------------
"If this music doesn’t make you want to don a patch laden denim jacket and have your long hair all 'business up front and party in the back', then you have no soul"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The four tracks on this EP remind you of the ‘Fuck, yeah!’ joy that can come from listening to rock music played by a band w/the music that they want to play and not giving a rat’s arse about what’s trendy. "
With an authentic sound, solid writing, and raw production, The Sunset Soundhouse Tapes is a superb EP, loaded with big riffs, sprawling, creeping song structure, and passionate vocal delivery. Skip the latte today and drop a few bucks on this EP instead.
---------------------------------------------
"This is their debut. And to be fair, let’s get it out of the way right now, it’s hands down the best EP of the year."
Rating 10/10
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sonic Medusa leaves me with a feeling of euphoria and a smile on my face. They are defenders of the faith out there and they deserve our respect."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Los Angeles super group Sonic Medusa, which features members of Goatsnake, The Obsessed, Hollywood Rose and Angus Khan.
The band have already drawn comparisons with the likes of Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Alice Cooper and a whole host of other, celebrated groups of the era.
In the record, the band digs its heavy heels in deep, integrating the powerful influence of late 70s/early 80s NWOBHM via twin guitar assaults and rhythms reminiscent of Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest and early Iron Maiden."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Evoking the spirit of a halcyon period for American Hard Rock, LA's Sonic Medusa have a penchant for the kind of hazy and smoke filled riffs that the likes of Blue Cheer, Lynyrd Skynrd and Pentagram are renowned for and these influences mixed in with an unbridled love for classic Sabbath, Maiden and Motorhead makes for a heady sonic brew."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The bands knack for melding that classic doom sound with a proto metal feel works extremely well and the no nonsense and organic live feel that The Sunset Soundhouse Tapes has makes for an extremely enjoyable listen.This is no frills and in your face Metal made for Metal fans by Metal fans and it doesn't matter if you're a fan of Heavy Metal, Doom Metal, Stoner Metal or whatever, it's all in here and it sounds great and above all it sounds fun and you can tell the band are having as much of a blast making it as you will when listening to it"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Also Great for drying wet hair"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"And what we want Sonic Medusa the classic riff-metal-groove n'roll. Declaration of love to the heroes of their childhoods, the Californians have the Sabbath doom ("Goblin Suite") with the iron Maiden ("Medusa") pair of sharp guitars, with a tip of Grand Guignol worthy of an Alice Cooper ("Wolfs Prayer"). Dirty D demonstrating a nice vocal mastery with vertiginous climbs over the titles perfectly performed instrumentally.

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
