LA garage rockers 'The Lords of Altamont' play Relentless Garage London 30 March
Promoting the release of the upcoming new album Midnight To 666 The Lords of Altamonth play London's Relentless Garage on 30 March. Tickets available here. ...
It’s been over a decade since the Lords Of Altamont ferociously emerged from the depths of the Los Angeles garage scene. Evoking the feeling of psychedelic influenced, 60’s biker mayhem, their collective black hair, greasy boot-cut jeans, and custom denim jackets have always given them a “we’ve come for your daughters” presence, but it’s their ultra cool delivery of loud, steady, garage punk that has set them apart from the pack.
Several personnel changes later, Jake ‘The Preacher’ Cavaliere, Shawn ‘Sonic’ Medina, John ‘Big Drag’ Saletra, plus new addition Harry ‘Full Tilt’ Drumdini (formerly of punk legends The Cramps) return with the perfect lineup and an equally perfect third record – ‘Midnight To 666’.
With the volume relentlessly cranked from start to finish, The Lords create an almighty, raw racket over 12 roaring tracks. Songs like ‘Soul For Sale’ and gloriously raucous album closer ‘Action Women’ further highlight this bands ability to weld blistering fuzz-soul with catchy, hook-laden melodies.
