Thin Acid Angel’s sophmore album, “Underneath 6th
Street,” opens up with the energy of a subway bursting
out of the ground on a collision course with the moon.
Somehow, lead singer Minor Gray’s lyrics fuse images
of Earth, Hell, and the wide galaxy seamlessly and
simultaneously in the band’s double-shot of an opener,
“Devil’s Ride.” And the ride continues... The first
listen through primes you for TAA’s stylistic
vocabulary. They run the gamut, from vigorous social
condemnation to heartbreak, love lost to fist-pumping
sing-a-long and closes with the ballad, “First Day of
Winter,” a reduced pace sobriety-returning unwind
after a solid rollercoaster caper. And all without
losing a drop of the rock ‘n roll sweat that soaks the
entire album. “Underneath 6th Street” is a mature
second album, thanks to its strong and clear poetic
lyrics from a powerful vocalist the  sometimes
stage-stealing instrumental intelligence, and really
impressive production. From beginning to end, each
track seems inspired by nothing less than an all-band
road trip, starting with a Death Valley desert
convertible speed-cruise and ending on a cliff,
throwing rocks in the ocean.

This CD sounds best when played as loud as possible.
