memphis' most fierce and unruly gang of misanthropic garage punks, TRUE SONS OF THUNDER, are back with heavy hitting double shot of pure mayhem via GONER RECORDS, entitled BLACK ASTROLOGERS....... and this 7 inch is unadulterated, sweaty, drunken rock n roll mojo like you haven't heard yet and probably aren't ready for.......
the A SIDE, BLACK ASTROLOGERS, is a sludgy mess of garage punk chaos that the grooves are barely able to contain....... kinda like the MUMMIES covering the ELECTRIC EELS or the GIZMOS trying to cover a HAWKWIND song......... yep barely rock n roll, yet undeniably loud, off kilter and awesome..........
flip to the B SIDE and you get a cover of the EQUALS' "i can see but you don't know" which is equally rambunctious, out of control and destructive, like any true rock n roll should be.......did they even practice this song more than once, who knows and who cares? someone has to keep the outsider / weirdo punk tradition alive, and that's exactly what the TRUE SONS OF THUNDER are doing........
so look for either of these tracks to appear on KILLED BY DEATH 37 or 52, cuz down the road, future generations are gonna marvel at the crazed sonic debauchery that these memphis rock n roller were able to conjure.......
LISTEN TO BLACK ASTROLOGERS BELOW......
and pick up yr copy from GONER now......if you dare.
and watch them tear it up at GONER FEST below -
