GREAT REVIEW OF BEECHWOOD“INSIDE THE FLESH HOTEL” FROM STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING - "Over twelve great songs, Beechwood pull together sounds from the last 50 years of Garage/Psych/Alt Rock with shades of Bolan boogie on ‘Bigot in My Bedroom’, primitive Stooges riffing on ‘Nero’ and the Country lament of ‘Our Love Was Worth the Heartache’, complementing their solid spine of ballsy Rock ‘n’ Roll."– STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING

Disappointed? Not in the least, more like surprised! Great fuzz psych with good tunes and some guitar work that would make Blue Cheer blush.
