together PANGEA began with lead singer-songwriter William Keegan recording songs on a 4-track tape machine as a teenager. The band truly began to take shape when Danny Bengston joined on bass, Erik Jimenez on drums and later Cory Hanson on lead guitar. They began performing at CalArts and house parties in the Santa Clarita valley in 2008, soon venturing to house shows and DIY spaces throughout the West Coast. These initial grassroots tours were followed by shows at iconic LA venues such as The Echo, Echoplex, the Troubadour and The Roxy, as well as trips to Austin for SXSW. Their debut recording was 2010's cassette-only 'Jelly Jam,' released by Seattle-based label Lost Sound Tapes. Their second album 'Living Dummy' was co-released on LP in the summer of 2011 by Burger Records and The Smell's label Olfactory. 'Living Dummy' was followed up by the 'Killer Dreams EP' in early 2012. Pangea have played shows with Wavves, The Black Lips, FIDLAR, Ty Segall, Mikal Cronin, King Kahn and the Shrines, Nobunny, Redd Kross, Guitar Wolf, The Strange Boys, and many more. Now signed to Harvest Records, together PANGEA released their 7-inch, 'Snakedog', in August 2013. Debut album will be released January 21, 2014.

Garage Rock For Paleozoic History Buffs
I was sniffing around the new Black Lips album and clicked on the link to this album out of curiosity. Maybe it was a fascination with a band that would pick a name only a geologist could love and a curiously ugly album cover. Whatever it was, I'm glad I checked it out. These guys are great. High energy garage rock with great sounding guitar and the singer has a perfect voice for the genre. I get a little bored listening to the second to last song but every other song is thoroughly enjoyable. The first song "Alive" has some of the greatest lyrics ever: "Living a lie and you don't even care, lying around in your underwear." Awesome.

Great!
The pressing is pretty good. Shipping was good and it didn't come warped (thank god). Great album with awesome tracks like "Offer" and "Tell Me Where the Night Ends".It's really something you can start and just listen through the whole thing.

one of the best in the first half of 2014
I enjoy every song on this album. I feel energized and excited while listening, and consider Badillac an essential addition to my record collection.

Rock énergique indépendant
Musique rock très énergique avec des mélodies que je me mets très vite à fredonner. Le cd m'a emballé rapidement. Un voix un peu à la Frank Black et un musique directe mais qui après plusieurs écoutes continue de dévoiler ses qualités.Achat sans regret.

super album, transaction parfaite
super album, groupe rock punk / indie super énergique dans la lignée des Hives ou encore de Fidlar (des potes à eux), du rock urgent et direct dans la tronche, et donc un album assez court mais avec tout ce qu'il faut ! Recommandé, ne serait-ce que pour la chanson titre (la n°3) et sa mélodie si évidente...
