V/A- US vs UK 7".  Transcontinental 4 way split here between two bands from the US and two bands from the UK including the Hip Priests, Flash House, Hell’s Engine and the Killer Hearts. Gonna be pretty hard to beat the big swinging balls of the UK’s the Hip Priests as they belt out an absolutely scorching new tune call ‘Dead By Sunday’. First time hearing London’s Flash House which sound like a cross between mid-paced Zeke and Nashville Pussy with Jeff Clayton from Antiseen singing. On the flip you get two bands from around the Houston area. First up are Hell’s Engine who are back after dominating my turntable with their killer split with Electric Frankenstein. On this 4 way they fire off a total burner call ‘Lights Out’. Backing them are the Killer Hearts who contain ex members Texas Terri + The Stiff Ones and the Wrong Ones and they tear through a tune called ‘Buried In Leather’ in the vein of fellow guitar warriors like Kiss, AC/DC and Thin Lizzy. After the first listen, I’m going with the Hip Priests, but all four these bands contribute very worthy tracks. Solid 4-way all around.
