ZERO ZEN
Alchemysts
(Rubric)
Detroit rawk is alive and well -- and living in the quiet
countryside of Somerset, England. Introducing The Alchemysts, three U.K.
yobs who have quite obviously spent years in their basement tinkering
with elements of '60s blooz-rock, from The MC5's distorto-soul and The
Stooges' proto-punk to The Seeds' dark majesty and even the
garage-psychedelia of Count Five. In the end, what they discovered was a
simple formula: Three guys + three chords + a handful of dive-bombing
guitar riffs + a few hard-driving, Bo Diddley drum beats + some
fuzz-bomber bass lines x one distortion pedal = solid sonic gold. Kick
out the jams, boyos.
