We had been sitting on this instrumental for a while. Originally we planned to write lyrics for it and add vocals. The concept behind the song was to be similar to one of Lou Reeds spoken word type songs. Think STREET HASSLE. But we could never get the words good enough and dramatic enough to match the intensity of the music. So we just released the music. It tells plenty of story by itself. We hope Lou heard it.

THE HOOV LIVE AT LEEDS S2

THE HOOV LIVE AT LEEDS S1

This is an homage to Robert Plant, John Bonham and Beck's Bolero by the Jeff Beck Group.   The song ends side one of my solo album Vinyl Junkie.  It's my first original song with lyrics.  Granted I only used one word. But Baby, I used it well.

GEOFF'S BOLERO

Our bongo acoustic version of the Pistols classic.  From the Vinyl Junkie album. Only available on CD. Not download.

PRETTY VACANT

This is an instrumental version of our hardest rocking track. Mostly it shows we have a great fucking drummer.  It also highlights our Who/E-Street Band influences as it kind of mashes those two bands into one on this track.  This is the first time it has been posted or released.

Not Fade Away  INSTRUMENTAL

A rare original from us.  This song is heavily influenced by TO HELL WITH POVERTY by the Gang of Four, with a side order of WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS by Led Zep.
