Kendra Sheetz The Amplifier Heads‘ frontman Sal Baglio has released his new solo album, Super 8, available now via Rum Bar Records. The record arrives alongside the focus track, “Hot Stars,” following the previously released singles “A Song Called Sha La La” and “Rock N Roll Riot.”
A longtime fixture of the Boston music scene, Baglio has spent more than four decades writing and performing rock and roll, first with The Stompers and later with The Peppermint Kicks and The Amplifier Heads.
Super 8 is a 30-minute collection of garage rock and power pop inspired by the legacy of rock and roll, tracing its evolution from the historic Moondog Coronation Ball in Cleveland through the decades that followed.
Baglio shared the following about the new album:
“Super 8 is a grainy film. Magic fingers in a cheap hotel. A skip and scratch of a 45 on an old hot RCA Victor. Memory. Lotsa sax. The sound of an AM radio just off the dial on top of a kitchen table 1965. An old Circus magazine in a basement box. The banging of an old soda machine outside of that cheap hotel at 4 a.m. Ridin’ in a car, windows down and singing loud with your friends that summer. And it’s a rock n’ roll record by The Amplifier Heads.”
