Garage Bands of the Gods
In case you're wondering who does that fantastic song in the Dell commercial, it's these guys.
BTW, I note with some small pride that they're from New Jersey, albeit not alas the Paris of the Tri-State Metropolitan Area.
This is first and last time they wrote a song outwardly as catchy as this. Most of their other stuff is Cream flavored psych. I enjoy Crimson Relfections and the latest album Casting Shadows. I just wifh they had more tracks like this masterpiece.

ReplyDeleteI like pop hits :)
ReplyDeleteActually, when I heard this in the ad, I assumed it was an older Detroit punk band called the Dirtbombs.
ReplyDeleteYou think Jon Agnello sounds like Mick Collins? I think Jon got a really nice compliment from someon today...
ReplyDeleteBTW, the Dirtbombs have a new album out
COOL stuff. I checked out their myspace page, and the tunes I heard were serious retro cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
