The Nuclears and Windbreaker played Human Head Records

Human Head Records is a record store located in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn. I’ve been meaning to stop by and check it out and after running into an instagram post of an upcoming in-store, that was all the extra push needed to make it happen. After some bridge crossings and zig-zagging through post apocalyptic rush hour traffic, we made it just in time to catch two NYC bands, The Nuclears and Windbreaker rock the house. Windbreaker were just getting started as we walked through the store which was filled with new and used records and mannequin heads.

Windbreaker are a band from NYC that play scorching powerhouse rock and roll with a towering lead singer with an array of lethal ammunition to keep the party going including maracas, killer harmonica riffs and Elvis sunglasses! You can’t go wrong with these guys…the energy they give off is infectious and their music got my bones rattling and my skull nodding to beat. They played a bunch of originals which need to get put out on an album and they threw in two covers…”Save It For Later” by English Beat and a rocking version of “Do It Again” by The Kinks.

The main event of the evening was another rock and roll band from Brooklyn…The Nuclears. Not much to say other than they absolutely rule and the party starts when they hit the stage! You get three bands in one with The Nuclears…three equally awesome lead singers that take turns with the lead vocals. I really enjoyed the country song they performed about how New York City sucks. They have another Brooklyn show coming up on June 29 at 9PM at Goldsounds (44 Wilson Ave, Brooklyn) with The Memphis Morticians, The Omega Men and The Bloodshots. Check them out, but in the meantime check out some more photos and videos below and definitely stop by Human Head Records. Definitely worth digging around up in there for vinyl. I bought a Cold Crush Brothers “Fresh, Wild, Fly & Bold” LP and DJ Chuck Chillout and Kool Chip “Masters of The Rhythm” LP. You old school hip hop heads already know!
