GREEN NOISE USA EXCLUSIVE!!!  Green Noise is proud to bring these Property of the Lost releases to the states, especially ones like this outstanding outing from X Ray Cat Trio, barroom rock n rollers from Leeds, UK with a wonderful mix of instrumental and vocal rockers, sort of recalling the unforgettable albums by bands like Brinsley Schwarz and Reigning Sound, or at least like them using the music of the early years of rock n roll to create something fresh, going back a bit earlier than most bands for inspiration, specifically the late 1950s and early 1960s in places like Memphis, Atlanta, Kansas City, Texas, NYC, and Detroit, sounding inspired by the music of legends like Hank Ballard, the Belmonts, The Ventures, Santo & Johnny, the Tornadoes, Link Wray, Del Shannon, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Buddy Holly.  While bands often seem influenced by some of those artists, rarely have I heard a band with a sound that seems influenced by such a diverse bunch of artists from this era.  Brilliant.  Highly recommended listen. -- winch

UK Rock'n'Roll Magazine: "Echo and fuzz laden inter-genre-fuck-fest of surf, spaghetti-western and rockabilly guitar all drenched in attitude."

Backseat Mafia: "X Ray Cat Trio definitely fall into the “Horror” genre. This is lo-fi and stripped back surf with a Latin edge, think Link Wray shooting tequila with a Mariachi band in a dive bar late into the evening. "

Vibrations Magazine: " I have to see this band and see them soon. They sound like almost the most fun you can have in a small room. They’re a riot."
