Period

VINYL FORMAT. Period is tuneful and heavy and punk and psychedelic, but there is also something more. The album has an energy which is dark but not sinister. Yonkers' lyrics are intense, even painful, but his voice is strong. The swirl of sound created by his homemade guitar is other worldly, and when woven into the guitar/baritone guitar/drum throb and punch created by the Blind Shake, Period is nothing less than great. Seriously, after six straight months of listening to Period, I rank it up there with such classics of heavy weirdness as Von Lmo's Future Language, High Rise II, and Monoshock's Walk to the Fire. Period is even worthy of a listen next to Blue Cheer's Vincebus Eruptum. Period by Michael Yonkers with the Blind Shake will stand as a classic. I am sure of that.
