Our special guest post today comes from Allison Apperson (aka BOSS Allison Lava) of the band  Hot Lava (who is on one of our own Top 5s). Their album, “Lavalogy,” combines the best of new wave, rock and punk. Tracks like “Brain Ed” and “JPG In The Sun” sound like the love child of Jesus and Mary Chain and The Clash. But often, as in the case of “Mummy Beach,” Hot Lava produces a loud and somehow melodic soundscape akin to nothing – and that’s a compliment. Hear for yourself on their MySpace Music page, or on their web site.

Apperson has been kind enough to list her Top 5 influences:

Thanks to Mark Lipsitz at Bar None Records for helping to coordinate this.
