Monsieur Jeffrey Evans first cut his chops with the seminal 80s Ohio-based slop-rock group The Gibson Bros, one of the direct predecessors to the glut of 90s indie rock blues bands that produced Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Delta 72, The W
After nearly a decade with the group, Evans decided hed had it with the groups crazed psychobilly and wanted to get back to the business of expunging demons and celebrating sinful passions on a dirty stage -- that is, really playing rock and roll. To that end, he assembled a sensational lineup featuring members of The Gories, Gloryhole, The Red Devils, and Monster Truck 005 and hit the road with a vengeance.
68 Comeback is nothing less than a roaring beast of a band, a three-guitar monster that rips through searing, dirty-as-hell garage blues with such authenticity they could easily be contemporaries of the MC5 or Rolling Stones. Sure, the musics nothing new; Evans himself admits that. The point here isnt breaking fresh ground, its reveling in the almighty power and the unparalleled ecstasy of pure undiluted Rock and Roll. If you can appreciate that, you can most definitely appreciate this band.
