SASQUATCH
Reviewed by Mike SOS
Simply stated, Sasquatch's sophomore effort, "II," rocks. Hard. So hard that it grooves, shakes, shimmies, and swaggers like a graceful version of its namesake.
This Los Angeles trio's bell-bottom blues and sunshine acid rock is on full throttle on cuts like "Pleasure to Burn," "Off the Rails," and "Seven Years to Saturn," (the mega-jam of 2007 thus far) and then bleeds even into acoustic campfire hymns like "Catalina."
Fans of Fireball Ministry, Five Horse Johnson, and good old fashioned floor-stomping, whiskey-guzzling, bong-loading raise-your-hands-in-the-air rock are going to boogie all night to this one.
Sasquatch: Keith Gibbs: Vocals & Guitar; Rick Ferrante: Drums; Clayton Charles: Bass.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
