This Plastic Crimewave Sound ‘Shockwave Rider’ 7” is proving somewhat addictive. It’s good old fashioned rock 'n' roll baby that keeps accelerating throughout like a Harley with a tank full of amphetamines. It’s psychedelic and it fookin' rocks like Sonic Youth doing a Hawkwind cover. As it progresses it gets more intense and I suspect there will be a few sore necks after rocking out to this number. I'm even reminded a little of a less unhinged Butthole Surfers. Quality gear! Limited 7" on HoZac.

What their label says...

For years, this Chicago scuzz-punk psychedelic prog machine has been turning heads as the Midwest's answer to Hawkwind, CAN and other mind-expanding primordial brain-fryers. At long last, and after years of preparation, we are proud to unleash the quintessential 7" single from Plastic Crimewave Sound as they obliterate the blistering biker-psych formula, blasting the shrapnel deep into the innerspace of your mind. Here we present their epic "Shockwave Rider," edited down from its 6+ minute format for maximum loudness and divinity. Featuring a lead guitar line from Vee Dee's Nick D'Vyne that will turn your hair white and stir up your endorphins before it even hits the first chorus, and displaying the gnarly heaviness that PCWS have made all their own.
