Denton, TX duo Street Hassle, is a shot of fuzzed out, lo-fi 60's-sounding psychedelic blues, rock, and pop. With the same slurred vocals of now-Denton-locals the Strange Boys and shredding the same musical heritage of gold Nuggets, the slightly more sloppy and much more excited sound serves Street Hassle well.

And what is perhaps most impressive about Street Hassle is their diversity while still sticking to those bare roots of rock, the energy and rawness of the songs overshadowing their derivation. It's heavy, but with an invigorating power, a leaden pull that draws you in ominously but pulses with life.
