Gay Blades, The
"Ghosts"

Released in 2008

The Gay Blades was a duo (James Dean Wells) and Quinn English from New Jersey that made loud, boisterous rock and roll, which they called "trash-pop". It was a mixture of gritty guitars and dirty drums that shatters the myth that it takes three to have a power trio. This album came in at #13 on my list of Top 100 Albums by New Jersey Artists from 2001-2010.
