The Royal Hangmen

"The Sonics wouldnt be touring today, if it wasnt for us playing their songs in the 80s"Rudi Protrudi, The FuzztonesWould anyone still be remembering 60s garage rock, without the retro bands of the 80s?Hard to tell. Fact is, that during the aera of synth-pop there was also a movement of Vox and Rickenbacker playing mop tops with beatles boots and the same attitude towards the raw and authentic RocknRoll sound of the 60s. These guys did a lot to resurrect that fab monster sound, coming out of almost every garage in the US and elsewhere. That sound we all really dig so much.Bands like The Miracle Worker, The Fuzztones or The Cynics not only had a lot of great covers of lost gems in their repertoire, they also wrote their own tunes in a similiar vein and extended the original sound somehow. But more important, they infected another whole new generation with this poison-green garage virusSo, its definitely time to pay tribute to some of the protagonists. Thats exactly what The Royal Hangmen had in mind with their new EP "Hell Yeah! An 80s Garage Tribute".
