All Music Guide says:
…sounds like it was recorded 35 years ago: the tapes were mastered directly to vinyl, which was used as the master recording for the CD release. So there’s a warmth and thickness to the sound that complements perfectly, for example, the elastic rocksteady rhythm of “Dillinger” and the glistening guitars and one-drop thump of “Belle Star.” If you liked this band’s first five albums, you’ll love this one — and you’ll almost certainly love their next five albums as well. Each release finds them digging deeper and deeper into the very same groove. And good for them. One can only hope that the “Volume 1″ in the title suggests a dubwise companion to this album in the near future.

On “10 Deadly Shots Vol. 1″ the mysterious reggae collective captures the vibe of classic reggae and distills it down to it’s essence – without vocals. The tracks were mastered directly to vinyl with the digital / CD parts cut from the vinyl lacquer. This unique process lets these ten gems breathe with the warmth and soul of the island.
The album was delivered to the Plant’s label ROIR on April 14 and released as an exclusive digital download on the band’s website on April 20 or 420, which is a day to celebrate cannabis culture. It is also available at all digital retail stores.
10 Ft. Ganja Plant’s new album 10 Deadly Shots Vol. 1 will be out on CD on July 6 exclusively from the 10 Ft. Ganja Plant website and will be in all good retail stores come August 10.
If you can’t wait till then or if you want to save some money (and who doesn’t?), then lucky you… 10 Deadly Shots is on a special pre-order sale!
We are happy to announce the release of 10 Ft. Ganja Plant’s new album, 10 Deadly Shots Vol 1… available today exclusively through their new website, 10ftganjaplant.com!
10 Deadly shots cut from Vinyl!
Its a cold weekend in February and the Cessna’s land. The vibes brew as the room fills, while the bass thumps a beat and the snare drum rings a tune. The chords echo through the room as the smell of analog tape enters the air… A familiar start to a 10 ft Ganja Plant recording session.
Digital album only $6.99 until 4/27/2010 (reg. $8.99)

Philly City Paper says: Univox's crusty power-driven pop, which incorporates the noisily melodic elements of Sonic Youth with the frenetic splintered pace of The Stooges and a touch of Motown swing, is easily imaginable coming from car windows on a summer's night. Read more...

Frontman Edward Ka-Spel and his crew capture the listener’s imagination with lush and haunting songs. Plutonium Blonde is more than just an album; it’s an aural and visual treat, a collection of stories that could have very well been written by a modern day Brothers Grimm. Read more...
IMPOSE MAGAZINE says: This wigged-out, cleverly-named Nashville trio must have been on some kind of collective bender when they recorded this zinger of an album, because they got some kind of “lightning in a bottle” shit going on here the likes of which you don’t roll into all that often.
It’s a soulful, greasy, howlin’ whiteboy kind of rant-rock that’s even greater than the sum of all its crazy parts, a frantic, no-holds-barred, “fuck the rules” kind of album that we desperately need right now. Read more...
A long awaited re-issue on vinyl & CD of the celebrated ROIR cassette, this is more than just a record; it’s a piece of NYC punk history. “Loud Fast Rules!” captures the band doing what they do best, playing a sharp, fast, energetic live set of catchy, feisty songs that mix punk with metal, reggae and good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll. A perfect soundtrack to a slam dancing, pit slamming, pogo party! Read more...
