“Love Is Cruel” includes all the elements that have been part of Maibell &
The Misfire’s brand of rockin’ music since their first album “Ride Along”
came out on El Toro Records in 2010.
Strong melodic content delivered with snappy rhythm, sharp guitar licks and
passionate vocals create a toe-tapping experience that sticks in your ear like
glue.
For over 20 years, your irrepressible host Rex and his legendary Fool's Paradise radio show on WFMU has held a grudge against the whole square world. Broadcasting from an undisclosed location in rural New Jersey in a fur-lined fall-out shelter located miles below the earth's crust, this weekly "excursion to nowhere" continues to proudly play nothing but greasy grooves from inane 45s, non-hit misfires, curveballs and oddballs from the Rock & Roll era. Yes sirree, those weird and warped ones about monsters, beatniks, chickens, apes, stewed moonbeams and mosquito knees...
And now, in the tradition of free love and nickel beer, Jazzman Records has teamed up with Rex to bring together a fabulous collection of his top spins! These are the songs that, by virtue of Rex's dogged persistence, have now achieved a kind of classic status that was surely never previously thought imaginable - The Fool's Paradise Favourites.
Gatefold LP includes 18 tracks with extra special chicken-themed twin spin bonus 45 single!
