Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Not everyone will have heard of Bakersfield but its influence is not to be underestimated on the world of music and whilst that world may be looking as if it times it is stalling, that the residue of backward looking and non-progressive music politics can at times hinder. One band that takes the step forward is L.A.’s Speedbuggy USA and in South of Bakersfield the homage to the home of Twang is a welcome and fulfilling experience in which the listener feels grateful for the band’s punk country outlook.
