The first review for God of Malfunction has surfaced. I fully expect this to be the first of many positive reviews.
Where does Steven Van Zandt find these bands? It’s easy to imagine the Springsteen sideman and Wicked Cool Records founder prowling around with his ear pressed up against strange garages, listening for the vague [...] Continue reading

The Contrast’s sixth full-length album ‘God of Malfunction’ sees the band going into ‘wide-screen’ mode with their most creative and ambitious work.
