The Von Bondies - Pawn Shoppe Heart

Jason Stollsteimer sure knows how to launch his Detroit garage-rock band. Last December, he got punched out in a bar brawl by the White Stripes’ Jack White. The resulting news (White was subsequently charged) has given Stollsteimer’s band valuable notoriety. The Von Bondies’ new album, produced by ex-Talking Head Jerry Harrison, features energetic rave-ups like “C’mon C’mon” and “”The Fever,” although “Broken Man” might now be a little too close to the bone for the badly injured Stollsteimer.
