The Heavy Trash band has decided to dish out their third record offering. It was the only year ago that they have released their much awaited second album and now, they have decided to get Midnight Soul Serenade Out. This is their third album is all about making sure that the get to deliver nothing short of the good old rockabilly sound that they have since established when they have decided to put a record on the market.

It is a good thing though that the duo is still able to deliver the rock and roll that they have been known for. They are able to successfully established some hillbilly and rockabilly sound that the very first two albums that they have successfully established since their inception in 2005.

The duo really did hit it in stride when the decided to release their first album. Their debut has been hitting all the right notes and they have not stopped short ever since. The second released that they have come up with is nothing short of impressive and this third is exactly how they were expected to deliver- fun and pure and simple and exhilarating as any rockabilly album should be.

They have decided to continue all the good things that they have been doing for the first two albums that they have established and this is not necessarily a bad thing. This means that listeners are getting, even more, treats when it comes to the kinds of rockabilly sounds that have since been making the duo an oasis in the forest made up of ditzy empty-headed pop sounds. If you are looking for a sound that is going to be loose as they would for rocker tunes and as spooky as the rockabilly ballad tunes are supposed to be, then this is one album that s going to take you for a ride.

Listeners will be delighted over the fact that Verta-Ray and Spencer are able to conjure some really interesting unhinged noises from their guitars. However, in so doing, they have also remained properly bounded within the songs that they have produced. Bet thing of them all though is the fact that Spencer gas actually embraced fully the role of being that rockabilly crooner, greasy hair and all, along with the unrestrained fervor and joy that the role pertains.

If you are a fan of the Lavern Baker, then the cover that the duo made for Bumble Bee will certainly bring about smiles. If you are hoping to hear some ode to Lux Interior, then you will find that the unhinged howls that he is making on Bedevilment are certainly going to be a pure source of entertainment.

The best thing about the entire record is how much of a flat-out blast it is. The duo is certainly raising a ruckus while blasting some swamp blues and punk blues that are quite noisy. There is cornpone balladry to and there is also jazz poetry of the nocturnal kind. They even laid down the song that could easily have become a chart topper if it was released back in 1959. If you are looking for a good rock and roll album, you need not look very far.

Heavy Trash, the band, is a collaboration between musicians Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray. It should be noted that these are both accomplished musicians in their own rights. In fact, their day job consists of being purveyors of the punk blues as is manifested in the Blues Explosion and in Speedball Baby.

This is the reason why most of the people that were eagerly awaiting the output of their collaboration were actual expecting hat the result would be the same sound, infused with the punk blues that they have since been known for. Needless to say, everybody was actually treated with such a huge jolt of surprise to find that the output that the two were able to come up with was anything but.

Of course, this is not to say that what came out of the collaboration is a sound that s nothing like the at all. in fact, one can clearly see the touches of what Spencer has since been known for. This is still that very recognizable yelping vocal that Spencer has always been known for. There is also the treat of being able to enjoy some exciting and quite stripped down the song that is all produced to be quite hooky even at the very first listen. In fact, the tracks that the album dishes out really do pack a punch- a fairy strong one as well.

Still, one should take note that the main difference of this album from the usual works that these town musicians are often associated with is the fact that they are actually going for a sound that belongs to the rockabilly idea. More specifically, they are trying to come up with the sound that used to be associated with the early rock side of American music- something that a lot of the listening public seems to only perceive a something that has long since gone past.

For those that want to get a glimpse of tracks that have his real impressive duck-tailed dust, The Loveless easily comes to mind. If you are into some crazed handclapping along with some hip shaking sounds topped with a shouted chorus, they are the Justine Alright and The Hump served on a platter for you.

Of course, there are also some tracks that are served up to get some of the excitement scaled back as well. For instance, there is the country ballad Fix These Blues complete with a pedal steel. If you are looking for a doo-whopping sound complete with a lament and a spoken interlude, Take My Hand can be easily your cup of tea.

Spencer truly is at the top of his game all throughout the record. He can be heard roping some very hilarious asides, whooping and hiccupping too, and then crooning and then howling the next moment- something that people might attribute to an unholy blend of Lux Interior, Elvis, as well as some Gene Vincent, peppered somewhere. Along with Verta-Ray, both musicians have created the rich, warm, and live songs along with the layering of the electric and acoustic guitars and percussions, add to the mix the back vocals of Christina Campenella and you are sure that you have a keeper right here.

When two brilliant musicians meet, there is no doubt that an excellent group is going to be born out of it. Such is the case with Heavy Trash. The brainchild of Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray, this is proof that when two musicians decided to collaborate, the outcome is one excellent band at products a sound that is not entirely unique in this sea of pop songs and hits, but one that truly pays ode the songs that have paved the way to the manner in which music has revolutionized and evolved over the years.

The two musicians have decided to explore the roots of music and combine punk rock, not the sounds that they produce. It was back in 1985 when Spencer first attracted many adventurous music fans’ attention. This due to the primitive guitar works that he so prominently displays in the songs that he has produced along with the raw vocals that accompany his songs back when he used to be a part of the band Pussy Galore. Add to that the frantic merchant of noise that goes into the songs that he has produced.

The band, however, split back in 1990. This led him to join forces with drummer Russell Simins and guitarist Judah Bauer. Together, they decided to for the Blues Explosion. The band is known for melding together accents of R&B along with feral blues. The sound they produced was one with a wailing fractured post-punk explosion, which is quite potent nonetheless. This has ended the band to become one of the most controversial and most acclaimed groups in the 90s era.

However, despite the solid following that the Blues Explosion has been enjoying, Spencer has always been one of those people that want to find new frontiers when it comes to the music that he plays. This means that during downtime, he can be seen playing with musicians such as the Boss Hog, R.L. Burnside, Gibson Brothers, as well as Spencer Dickinson.

It was in 2005 when Spencer began writing as well as recording material with his now bad mate for Heavy Trash, Matt Verta-Ray. Verta-Ray has played bass with the very much acclaimed Madder Roe for their first two albums.

The tow has decided it get their collaboration named Heavy Trash. It was later that year that they were able to release their very first album. It was titled simply as Heavy Trash. This is an album that eased back on the blues- a very prominent element in the earlier work that they used to do. What the album opted for instead is getting to the forefront a more honky tonk and rockabilly flavor.

This album was co-produced an engineered by Verta-Ray in his very own NY Hed recording studio. Two years later, in 2007, the group decided to dish out their second album. It was titled Going Way Out with the Heavy Trash. A year later, they released another record. Midnight Soul Serenade as released in 2009 and it became their last album for a while. A short collection of increased songs and outtakes called Noir! was released in 2015 by Bronze Rat.
