The Thousands

Supergroups are funny – in theory they should be brains-free all out awesome. Taking the best bits of other bands should automatically make one big badder-than-ass combo. However sometimes it just sounds like some sort-of warped science zombie beast dying slowly.

Almighty Defenders are the fun kind of supergroup like too unholy halves coming together Black Lips + The King Khan & BBQ Show = finger lickin’ good times! According to Google, this album is a genre all unto its own called ‘evil gospel’. I’ll tell you what, these kids screech what they preach! Don’t expect to hear it in a church near you any time soon unless someones cracked open the holy wine, oh no too late Almighty Defenders drank it all.

Anyway back to the music – its pretty much an amazingly booze-crazed revival freight train leaving the station headed for a smash. From the first hand clapping ‘Amen’ to the glorious strains of gutter doo wop and demented rhythm & blues chant, right down to the invocation of the holy ghost – beetleguese, beetleguese, BEETLEGUESE!
