Hudson Falcons
"La Famiglia"
Released in 2004
Hudson Falcons is a band from New Jersey led by Mark Linskey that has been fighting the good fight since around 1997. I got into them from their connections with the band Maybe Pete. Mark's raspy vocals work perfectly with the band's motto of "Working Class Rock 'n' Roll". Most of their tunes are just solid, fast rock tunes that are exactly what sounds great at a bar. Among a lot of originals, this record has a great cover of Steve Earle's "Copperhead Road".

Makin Waves Song of the Week: "Gibraltar" by Defecting Grey
Each year-end coverage of Makin Waves features "The Dirty Jersey Dozen," a list of the 12 indie Jersey music acts that made the most waves. Two bands that likely would be on the all-time Dirty Jersey list are Gigantic, a Jersey Shore trio inspired by the primal pop of The Pixies and Nirvana, and Alternative Tentacles recording act Buzzkill, also a trio from the days when New Brunswick was the state's best music scene.
