New Additions: Nothing Is Sacred by The Godz

A recent visit to Spoonful Records here in Columbus procured me the second of two albums released by The Godz in 1979, this one being Nothing Is Sacred on Casablanca. I had not heard the band prior to starting this project, and my initial impression upon seeing the album artwork and band photos was that this was going to be the midwest answer to Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, but it turns out my assumptions were incorrect. While this is definitely rockin' in a late 70s way, there is both a country rock vibe at times (think Blackfoot) and a glam rock sound at other times (think Slade).
