John "Speedo" Reis in one of the unjustly forgotten heroes of the alt-rock '90s. With his explosive, stage-destroying bands, Rocket From the Crypt and Drive Like Jehu, Reis became one of the most dependable names in music. After shuttering his recent project, Hot Snakes, and taking time to focus on Swami Records, Reis is finally back with another knife-edged group, Night Marchers. SEE YOU IN MAGIC continues Reis's exploration of punk hustle and garage-soul showmanship. "In Dead Sleep I Snore" races like a dream about surfing, and "Whose Lady R U" plays like a NUGGETS outtake. Welcome back, Speedo.
