Thee Dirt Byrds – Purple Prince
They Say: “The track was recorded a few months ago by our friend Andy Danso. It was a one taker as they say. Andy mixed, and we let him do his thing. We wanted him to capture the power of the band LIVE , and I think he's done it good. The band are influenced by good oul rock’n’roll, Link Wray, The Sonics, The Stooges, The Cramps, The Clash that sort of stuff, and beer.”
We say: “Brutalist, garage rock played with an authentic scowl. No messing with the primary colours or the pivotal chord shapes. Guaranteed to please admirers of The Cramps and other psyche-rumblers.”
