Our Take

GA-20's latest album, Crackdown, feels like a whirlwind journey through the gritty underbelly of the blues. With their raw, stripped-down sound, this Boston-based trio is bringing a fresh energy to the traditional blues genre.

From the opening track, "Naggin' On My Mind," it's clear that GA-20 is not afraid to get down and dirty with their music. The heavy, distorted guitar riffs combined with the soulful vocals create a sound that is both familiar and exhilarating.

Tracks like "Blood in the Water" and "Meet Me in the City" showcase the band's ability to balance raw emotion with technical prowess. The bluesy guitar solos and tight rhythm section keep the energy high throughout the album.

One of the standout moments on Crackdown is the haunting ballad, "Whiskey in My Cornflakes." The lyrics are poignant and the instrumentation is understated, allowing the emotional weight of the song to shine through.

Overall, Crackdown is a solid offering from GA-20. While it may not reinvent the wheel, it's a testament to the band's dedication to keeping the blues alive and kicking. So grab a glass of whiskey, sit back, and let the raw, unfiltered sound of GA-20 wash over you. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

GA-20

Boston blues-rock duo GA-20 burst onto the scene like a shot of Louisiana hot sauce on a clam chowder. Comprised of Matthew Stubbs and Pat Faherty, these two musos have been tearing up dive bars and festival stages alike with their raw, gritty sound that harks back to the golden age of electric blues. With a sound that's as thick and juicy as a Boston cream pie, GA-20's music oozes with stinging guitar licks, growling vocals, and a rhythm section that hits harder than a Fenway Park home run. Their debut album, aptly titled "Lonely Soul," is a smorgasbord of blistering blues riffs and toe-tapping grooves that will have you reaching for your nearest air guitar faster than you can say "wicked awesome." But don't let their throwback sound fool you – GA-20 are no mere nostalgia act. These boys have got chops for days and a stage presence that's as electrifying as a lightning storm over Cape Cod. With a live show that's been described as "a sonic assault on the senses," GA-20 are not just a band – they're an experience. So grab yourself a Sam Adams, slip on your favourite pair of Converse sneakers, and get ready to party like it's 1969 with GA-20. These guys are the real deal – and they're here to stay. So don't be a chowderhead – get yourself a taste of GA-20's bluesy goodness before the rest of the world catches on. You won't regret it.
