This is agnostic gospel
Fueled by tumultuous and raw pagan holy rolling, Memphiss indie-rockin Oblivians dont want to transform 50s music so much as to infuse it with unbridled rapacious re-visitations. Their songs and relentless lo-fi bass-less discordance revitalize the precepts of Jerry Lee, filter them through an incendiary Williamson/Stooges ethos, mixed down by Satan himself. Their albums hilarious near-porno artwork, raunchy lyrics, fierce lupine wails, covers of obscure Lightnin Hopkins numbers and blues-soaked psychobilly songs buzz and growl spirited reclamations of southern America, leaving behind permanent celebrations of roots music - Trouserpress.com
