Please notice the „The“ in the band’s name that prevents you of mistaking this one with known German metal boobs. And those, who might assume to deal here with a "New School of Indierock" in the veins of The Stroke due to the strong retro wave, are totally wrong too …
THE WARLOCKS already exist some longer time and mastermind Bobby Hecksher got a proper touch of sixties retro and the 90’s Creation Records guitar-alarm due to his former working place in The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Anyway, the band’s sound can be described as a booming mix of Velvet Underground, Spacemen 3, My Bloody Valentine, Psychedelic and Sixties-Pop.
Those who think that the last record of Black Rebel Motorcycleclub is too folkish and love early Dandy Warholes (seems to be friends of THE WARLOCKS) and think that there can’t be enough administrators of The Jesus & Mary Chain must have Surgery.
Surgery is a varied piece of music for long and dusty desert roads, stoned nights and people keeping their mind free to dream. This piece of music is Britrock/Britpop for black-dressed ones and shades-bearer… are there still such guys available? Ok, enough of name-dropping. Night owls that feel addressed by that know what to do.
