Seasick Steve narrowly pipped his contemporary, the less marketable Jawbone, to the lone position for punk-blues one-man bands in the casual consumer’s collection.
There’s no house room for more hollerin’ lonesome hobos, yet, like H G Wells’ foolhardy martians, still they come. Reverend Deadeye, Lewis Floyd Henry, and now, from the unlikely blues cradle of Christchurch New Zealand, Stomping Nick and His Blues Grenade.
Stomping Nick’s guitar is a buzz garage blur, his harmonica playing is beautiful and bellicose, his drumming is breathless and barrelling, and his Orange Blossom Special is a breakneck bulldozer blast.
