‘Freedom Tower’ – Oh yes baby just dig it, it’s happening like nobody else.
“…the Blues Explosion wants to get your body moving, and they know just how to do it.”
“…Freedom Tower: No Wave Dance Party 2015 still offers up 13 tracks of the band’s mutated blues-funk amalgam, rife with dueling, rubbery riffs and relentless grooves, courtesy of juggernaut drummer Russell Simins”

“The subtitle of Spencer’s new album is spot on. Spencer’s real genius is bringing the No Wave noise — but with the Blues Explosion’s distorted blues/soul/garage guitar riff to make it funky and even danceable, in a goony tribal-stomp kind of way.”
