I can pinpoint the exact moment that I became fascinated with Pentagram—exactly 20 seconds into 'Buzz Saw.' That's how long it took to feel both utterly crushed and suddenly awakened by all that is good and heavy in rock 'n' roll. Front man and mastermind Bobby Liebling remains a human hurricane and will be playing Pentagram's first-ever L.A. show this Friday. This interview by Kurt Midness.

Fans of garage and psych are probably familiar with this LA band of Talk Talk fame. Sean Bonniwell and the Music Machine released two records and a plethora of quality outtakes and are sadly remembered, if at all, for their sole hit record, Talk Talk. The Music Machine covered themselves in black and played a grinding, relentless form of experimental garage rock. Their music was full of tension and uneasiness, and many consider Bonniwell a tortured genuis. Sean Bonniwell is really one of the grandfathers of punk rock. [...]
