Best get tooled up,
here comes some raw and dangerous garage punk-soul.
For folks that needed
to phone a helpline when The White Stripes confirmed they'd split, a
new gunslinger's in town. LA musician Hanni El Khatib takes his
inspiration from the greasy underbelly of the great American
songbook, those lesser celebrated R&B, soul, blues and doo-wop
songs from the 50's and 60's whose sinister sentiments marked a time
when rock and roll was truly dangerous. When gang fights, hot rods
and cheap kicks were all the kids needed for a good night out.
You may be familiar
with his cover of Funkadelic's “I Got A Thing” from a recent Nike
commercial, featured on the album as a bonus track. The song is
stripped down to a raw and ready garage rocker, all fuzz guitar,
snapping drums and throat stripping vocals.
