PRESS QUOTES ...
If rock and roll was all about swing and groove, fun and frenzy, beat and boogie, what replaced it seemed to take itself all too seriously. But fear not, there are still those who understand what made the genre work, and the brilliantly named Lightning Gusto is one of them. Sure, his songs are full of incendiary guitar salvos, pounding beats, and big vocals, but, crucially, it also has space, space to let the light inand not just the light, the groove, the swing, the energy, the bounce everything you need for that foot-on-the-monitor, fist-in-the-air, heads down, no-nonsense endless boogie experience.
