Soul roll manic priest island gods Madonna Bangers bang it out: Made up of a pro-wrestling southern preacher, a cigar-box banjo raccoon, one Early Man, a real park ranger, and an indie rock sultan from 1997. A pack of cosmic hoboes from the backwoods. All of the MC5 getting bottled in the back of your favourite shitdive in 1978. GG Allin getting jumped on the beach by rabid lovers. Richard Hells ringing ears turning over in a future grave. The only grizzly bear of a lead singer who has kept his tongue down my throat for more than a songs length while fully naked. And where are they! You need to hunt them down. Landlocked on the island? Cross-body in the centre of the ring? Four tracks out on a 45 that is veritably slipping into the ether…find it. Fresh out of JC/DC with who knows what in the cue. The freshest philosophers from the west since who knows when, wasting time stinking up Kimya Dawsons couch. Dont blink. The Book of Genesis in serious flames. Hotter than Japandroids. The real Gospel music. Punk rock in 2009.
