Lead by super-hero, bleached-out, cape-donning golden child Jeff Waylon -- these four strapping lads are back with a vengeance -- having just recorded their newest, most intense offering to date. "Straight" -- Tsar's debut 7-inch (Birdman Records -- home of the Warlocks, the Electric Prunes, the Boredoms) attacks with a blistering crunch while B-side -- "Creature In Disguise" -- flat-out ends the conflict. Tsar's sonic destruction replicates the natural chemicals of love. Bubbling up from the indie rock underground -- Tsar will leave you warm & sticky ... and glad all over..."
