Rowland S. Howard ‎– Pop Crimes LP

The ghosts of Lee Hazlewood, Snatch, Sergio Leone, The Shangri-Las and nameless guys from a never known chain gang watch on. Within the first few breaths ROWLAND (THE BIRTHDAY PARTY) references Stalin, Calvary and genocide, whilst razoring guitar lines the current crop of post-punk revisionists could only fantasize about. Rowland S. Howard died of hepatocellular carcinoma secondary to liver cirrhosis on December 30, 2009. He was 50-years-old.
