Intro

Imagine a sun-drenched French coastline where the 1970s never actually ended. This is music that smells like old leather jackets, warm vacuum tubes, and cheap beer. It is unashamedly vintage, leaning into the kind of heavy blues-rock and psychedelic garage sounds that make you want to drive a car with no roof into the sunset. The energy is infectious, driven by a rhythm section that understands the importance of a deep, swinging groove.

What sets them apart is the sheer joy of their execution. While many garage rock bands lean into cynicism or lo-fi murk, there is a bright, harmonized clarity here. The influence of the Blues Pills camp is evident in the soulful, powerful delivery and the technical proficiency of the guitar work. They manage to sound like a lost treasure from 1971 without feeling like a museum piece, thanks to a raw, live-in-the-room production style.

Start with 'Nasty Habits' to hear them at their most punchy and immediate. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who misses the days when rock and roll was about big riffs and even bigger choruses. If you want something a bit more expansive, their later work pushes further into the 'Space' of their psychedelic influences, but the core remains a sweaty, high-energy rock show.
