Thee Hypnotics

Musical Group or Musician

British rock band fronted by Jim Jones, noted for a raw garage- and psychedelic-influenced blues rock sound and energetic live performances.

According to the reviews, Live'r Than God is a live mini-album recorded in 1989 and captures the band's early live energy; the review also describes Jim Jones as a protégé of Iggy Pop and notes the band's stylistic debt to the Stooges, MC5, Hendrix and traditional blues (B.B. King). Later studio albums such as Soul; Glitter & Sin added new elements to their sound (as reported in reviews).

Reviews celebrate Thee Hypnotics' brutal, bluesy garage-rock sound and the fierce energy of their 1989 live mini-album Live'r Than God. Critics highlight Jim Jones' commanding presence and the band's debt to Stooges/MC5/Hendrix traditions. Live'r Than God is considered by some reviewers the band's essential document of their early live force.

For:Fans of garage/psychedelic/blues rock and high-energy live recordings; listeners of The Stooges, MC5, Hendrix, and vintage raw rock.

 

The Hypnotics assault, tear apart the soul of primordial rhythm and blues, listen to how they ravage B.B. KING's "ROCK ME BABY", playing a boisterous, fiercely violent Garage Rock with the blues at its heart and Raw Power as its guiding spirit.
