Legendary garage punk rockers The Lords of Altamont return with new album, video and London show
Garage punk rockers The Lords of Altamont return with a new line up and a new album, Midnight To 666, released via Fargo in the UK on the 30th May. Jake ‘The Preacher’ Cavaliere, Shawn ‘Sonic’ Medina, John ‘Big Drag’ Saletra, plus new addition Harry ‘Full Tilt’ Drumdini (formerly of punk legends The Cramps) are arriving in the UK for a headline show at The Garage in London on 30th March.
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.
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.
