One-man garage band NJ-based Bosco Delrey recently released his full-length debut, Everybody Wah, recorded in Memphis, TN at the infamously cool Easley-McCain Recording, released on Diplo's Mad Decent Records. The result? Throw T. Rex, slapback vocals, an assortment of dance beats, a cheap guitar, old synthesizers and a beat box, and put it all in an oddball (yet brilliant) blender; you have one hell of a debut. And it's damn funny to boot.
