Hard blues en formato power trio cuyos integrantes provenían de Opus Alfa, otra brillante banda impulsada por el blues rock británico. Combinan influencias claras (Cream, Led Zepp, Manal) e ideas tan frescas que los alejan de ser otra banda estándar de la época, sumados a una potencia instrumental casi agresiva e inclinación hacia la improvisación como se demuestra en 'Toda tu vida'. Líricamente el disco comienza con todo el espíritu de su generación, en este sentido 'Amasijando los blues' habla de una vida bucólica ideal, pero el animo se torna cada vez mas oscuro para terminar en la mas profunda amargura con temas como 'Están desubicados' o la ya antes mencionada 'Toda tu vida'. Y es que para el grupo, Días de Blues "significaban días jodidos, tiempos de crisis, días de alienación..." explica el texto de Fernando Peláez que acompaña la reedición de 2016.

Otro ejemplo del atractivo artístico y la alta calidad que tenían las bandas de rock en Sudamérica durante la primera parte de los 70s.

La palabra evolución no existía para estos "chavos" y hasta entonces se celebraba que así fuera. "Chavo de Onda" es el mejor disco de los Trisouls, su cuarto
 disco.
 
El motivo de este parece ser: "me gusta el rock y me vale madres lo que 
piensen todos", con esa premisa arremeten en "Chavo de Onda", 
"Déjenos Gozar", "He pensado mucho" y "Adicto a el Rock n´Roll 
(three souls boogie)". 

Aunque para un servidor lo verdadero bueno está en "Perro negro y callejero" 
(fusil descarado, cinico, burlón, de Uno Ino de Harvey Mandel) y "Abuso de autoridad" con el mítico "Y las tocada de rock, ya nos las quieren quitar. 

Ya solo va poder tocar, el hijo de Díaz Ordaz".

La música es sencilla, el mismo Boogie blueseado de siempre; los acordes: los mismos  que cuando empezaron; las letras tan directas que hasta tus amigos
 lelos las podrán entender, y si crees que se pasan de "nacos" estarás en lo 
correcto, pero esto es rock urbano, callejero, no progresivo de elfos.

Un álbum, que sin inventar nada es buenísimo.

Chavos al poder!

Epizootic's sole album is a highly ambitious, but amateurish kind of progressive hard rock. There are many nice touches that are unusual for such an 
aggressive album, including electric piano and flute. It definitely features a 
high level of complexity, not always found on harder edged albums like this. 
Really great guitar throughout. The vocals are a bit strained, which recalls 
many an early 70s German album - so it just takes a bit of time for the ears to adjust. Overall a strong effort, and worth seeking out.

SWF-Session 1974 (Long Hair LHC215)

An archival release, jazz tinged Krautrock which is pretty good. 
I don't see that special something which puts it apart from some of the similar 
sounding bands like Kollektiv, Out of Focus but it should've been released when 
it was released. 
The musicians are proficient and its better than many other jazz rock
from back then.

What’s In a Name?! (1979)
Aka Besting Thin Lizzy at their Own Game

What’s in a name? Everything it turns out. Survivor has been ripe for re-discovery for YEARS. Bloody Hell! These Louisianans just flat out rock. Playing a down & dirty Thin Lizzy dual guitar attack better (and HARDER) than even those Dublin boys themselves did back in 1979. (I personally feel that Black Rose is a stumble for the Lizzy boys, but more on that below). BUT, they shared a name with those lame-ass Chicagoans famous for that Rocky theme song “Eye Of The Tiger.” I love Rocky. And that song can be fun in the right setting (the horns really make the song!). But damn if I had any interest in an entire album of that schmaltz. I guess I just have too much self-love. Being a child of the sixties and what not. What a mistake! This album is golden. First track “The New Order“ comes barreling out of the gates sounding like an adolescent Judas Priest if they were from the Deep South. “Black Sea” foreshadows a young Iron Maiden. “Deceive Me” is an epic slow burn that recalls Judas Priest and Pink Floyd in equal measure. One key thing - this album is a grower. It took quite a few spins for me to realize its greatness. Highly Recommended (HR)!
