With ‘Gimme 5!’<\/a> we take a peek into the collections of artists we admire. The premise is simple: artists WE like share five records THEY love.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2021, American writer, editor and musician Noah C Lekas<\/a> made it to the top of my year-end list<\/a> with his Sounds From The Shadow Factory<\/em><\/a> EP. The unique collection of beat poetry songs – ‘jazz for the mind, blues for the soul’ – blew me away. But he has more up his sleeve: I would like to introduce you to American Restless<\/a>, a promising band he started with two old friends from Rancine, Wisconsin –\u00a0bassist Ian Grant and drummer Arjuna “RJ” Contreras (Reverend Horton Heat). They describe their music as ‘Rust Belt Rock and Roll’, a strong expression that also works well as the title for their debut album, which will be released June 16 by Blind Owl (pre-order Rust Belt Rock N Roll<\/em> here<\/a>). Listen to its lead single Cadillac Head<\/em> below for a first impression.<\/p>\n
