GaragePopRecords.com: The Priests
The PRIESTS are a quartet based in Rochester, NY that believes in the myths of rock and roll whole-heartedly. The larger-than-life imagery and dark, sexual, seedy characters that embody a rock and roll show are what the PRIESTS come to expect. Their music reflects their beliefs. It�s primitive and has it�s roots in r&b, punk and garage. Inspirations are usually derived from bad relationships, bad movies and bad drugs. While none of the PRIESTS are virtuosos in their own right, the band as a whole really shines when together and their onstage performances are full of a weird kind of energy that is both offensive and attractive.When I bought a CD from Rob the bassist/organist, I asked him what there influences where. First band out of his mouth - perennial BFD favorite The Cramps. The inspiration is obvious when they're on stage. Rob said they got to open for them last year when they came to Rochester. Here's an FT for ya, that link that you didn't click yet is a post by Cory Doctorow where he comments, "the greatest sludge-a-billy act of all time. It's expecially keen to hear this old, unironic rockabilly version performed, and realize that this was indeed 'bad music for bad people.'" Yet another reason Cory rocks.
